I've been driving for months with a broken off crossmember bolt.
It has not given me any probs at all. Someday I'm gonna drill an new hole next to the old bolt and tap it for a new bolt.

i dint think it would be a prob but just wanted to be sure. im thinking that ill try and knock the old one out with an air hammer. then just fish a new bolt up there and snug it up with a impact wrench
