balls'd up wishbone

[Nathan.golf]

i have fitted adjustable drop links to my golf and on the drivers side i have cross threaded the bolt wich conncects bottom of drop link to wishbone
its strip the threads so no bolt will tighten up in its place
help, just wondered if there was a way i could sort this out

cheers

new drop links ?

[Nathan.golf]

where the bolt goes into wish bone, all the threads in there are foooooked, the bolts will not tighten up in there

New wishbones are quite cheap via TPS... or pattern part of course

longer bolt and a nut on the end 

fiddly, but works. wedge a screwdriver in to stop the nut spinning for the final torquing

[Nathan.golf]

[Wayne]
