as i was getting my new agx's put on (damn those are nice) we realized that whoever put on my springs, broke one of the studs in the back, you know, those 3 studs that hold the strut tower thing in place. so im riding right now on 2 studs. its making this awful squeeking noise cause the stud is rubbing against the metal. i ordered the new peice from nissan, its like 18 bucks. til then, am i safe to ride on just 2 studs?

thanks - aaron

The top "dome" of the strut mount goes through a hole in the unibody, so that helps hold up that corner. With the two other bolts in place, the strut assembly shouldn't be able to rotate.

Your call. I'd keep driving to a minimum.
