Went out in the driveway this month to try lowering the rear end of the car a little bit. I should have left good enough alone, because I was only looking for ~1/4", but I ended up snapping off the 8mm bolt. :mad2:

Can't get anything sizable up there to drill it out or pop it out, and I'm not about to take apart the whole ass end of the car today. Not with 87 degrees and 70% humidity.

Hello Sparta Performance....Yes my name is ADAM and I'd like to order a set of Watt's links:lol:

I don't think a new Watts link would get me any closer to a fix.
It's the sensor bracket that bolts on to it that I've snapped one of the bolts off on. The 10mm is on there still, so I'm just gonna leave it for now.

Just figured if you needed to drop the link to fix the problem....like they say 'when in France'. Hope you get it fixed soon:)

Isn't the bigger nut (I thought it was an 11) just a slide/guide and can't be tighted? If so, a quick fix would be to back it out and add some washers for now.

Just crawled underneath the car. The remaining bolt is very tight on there and I was unable to slide it along the Watts Link at all. I think I'm safe.
