nazzurro19 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 ok so basically my car failed mot on wishbone bushes as some of you know , i then couldnt undo the bolt due to the captive nut ... now the headache beginsso this morning i travelled 75 miles to tm developments , cause no garage in norwich will do this problem for me , all good dave gets it sorted so i get home after 4 hours of travelling etc and start to undo the wheel , then my stupid F******* lock nut tool snaps on the inside and rounds the bolts , not a big problem i know and £22 later sorted so anyway , get to the wishbone and with hardly any effort the bolt came out so i then went to put the bolt in and to my surprise i could push the whole length of the bolt in i tried tighting it and nothing !so theres only 2 things it could be the thread has rounded on the bolt , or the thread has rounded on the nut if its the bolt im keeping the car if its the nut then im breaking the cari hope for hell its the bolt i believe it is cause it will tighten slightly to the point i cant pull the bolt out so im hoping heres a pic what ya thinkplease tell me its the bolt thats threaded :harhar: Quote
rorenapier Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 That bolt is fucked.Its been fucked when it was put back in by the looks of it...Oh and your captive nut sounds fucked aswell...Get on the blower to TMD. Quote
_shaun_ Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 yep that bolts totaly shafted id be on the phone to tmd Quote
nazzurro19 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 i rang them and told them and they said the bolt was pretty shifty , but all they did was weld the captive nut back on so hopefully the nuts ok and its just the bolt do toyota stock them i wana try and get one tomoz and sort this issue , i am 21 years old and i am really genuinly ready to cry lol Quote
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 We welded the captive nut on, had nothing to do with taking the bolt out Quote
_shaun_ Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 best of luck with it tho mate uve had some shit luck with it lately dont brake it tho soon as its on the road and boosting again ull forget all about the hastle of it edited: cause they didnt touch the bolt :harhar: Quote
nazzurro19 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 if i can get it to tighten it does feel like its got a grip so i am really really hoping it is just the bolt , lord have faith lol if not watch for a massive thread td04 kit allsorts haha Quote

james@cjperformance Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 That bolt is cross threaded get a new bolt from toyota and it looks grim but worth a shot. Quote
nazzurro19 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 That would have been your best bet Anti asked if you could fit the bush when i rang u , and i thought u said you wouldnt be able to so soon Quote
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Have you not a new arm? Quote

nazzurro19 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 ok so unfortuantly yesterday was a waste of money £50 and the captive nut once again snapped so it didnt last a day ! so now im screwed as i cant drive it anywhere or get fixedim now outta ideas money and hope Quote
turbo Grant Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Could you not put a nut and bolt in to get you back on the road. Not near my car and can't remember if you can get a nut and spanner on it. That's what I would try and do if I was you mate. Quote
nazzurro19 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 yeah thts what we did in the end but ya had to cut the chassis and now no garage will weld it back up due to insurance n sheite! so now i stil cant get an mot Quote
james@cjperformance Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Take a pic of the ares the captive nut was in. i would w afant my 50 quid back for sure. That weld has not penetrated at all lol no wonder its come off again Quote
nazzurro19 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 hmm tbf i want the £50 back aswell but i highly doubt dave would do that the weld was fairly dirty my mate said it doesnt look like it made a good contactthis the only pic of the area i got Quote
