Stripped the captive nut in my front panhard rod

As the title says i've stripped the nut in my front panhard rod mount which is under the spring seat which makes it difficult to get to,


The car is currently undrivable as i've found out on my drive to work this morning, anything over 20mph and the car is trying to kill itself whilst its shaking,

Anyone got any clever ideas how i can fix this?

My tool kit is limited and thats being kind to it,

I thought a longer bolt but that went out the window when i realised it will foul the axle casing

Get your self a tap & die set & recut the thread ?

Stripped the tread out of it or has it broken away so its spinning

I believe its stripped the thead,

As the bolts tightening its slipping and becoming loose giving the same effect as stripped threads,

I've just pit a new bolt in seein in the deeper thread has more to try bite, but the bolts a bit to long so i need a shorter bolt,

See how that gets on as long as i can get to the garage to get the new tyres

You could cut the bolt to the length you need or put a couple/few washers on before putting the bolt in place so it doesn't protrude out the other side.

Drill it out and try and get a nut and bolt through it

Dont put a different tread size in it as it my lock up and snap even worse snap the captive nut off the back then you wont get it out
