Are you seriously driving your car around with a nail through your tie-rod linkage? :) ... awesome.

I have a feeling that this went FUBAR while installing your GC's... just a hunch.

haha. that happened to me too. i drove without the bolt on to a shop and they finished the lowering job and fixed the threads that i damaged and warped from a good beating with a hammer.:D

but yeah i don't mean to laugh at your misfortune. dynaspeed's comment just made me laugh.

Fishboy, what did you do??? did you mushroom the threads too? or did you do something else?? cause i can't seem to get it fixed...you think it would be ok if i drove the car around..but not to far...???

yup i mushroomed it, fucked up the threads, tried rethreading it, even used a dremel to make new threads, and after that failed we tried to cut it to about the hole. haha we tried it all for hours. then we gave up and i drove it to a shop the next morning. i felt it was kinda safe because i figured if i couldn't get that thing out with a hammer then it wouldn't just pop out while i drove. i still drove very carefully though.
