SGT#3670 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Well looks like I really screwed up . I left the plenum cover on too long and I stripped a strut screw. Take it from me that the plenum covers under the brace are just not worth the risk. Wonder how much this is going to cost me to fix? I will be heading to Quantum Performance and see what they can do. I expect that the whole shock will have to be removed. So any mods worth doing while they have the area in pieces? Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Depending how bad it is, they may be able to just chase it with a tap, or is it a die?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnoggle Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 It would be a die. And if it's not stripped to badly they may be able to save it. I'm wondering if the studs are pressed into the underside of the strut flange? If so, they may be able to push it out and simply replace it with a new stud.

Is it a stock GT strut or a FRPP strut on that car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT#3670 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 It is not too bad. Only the top portion of the screw is screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
