I have 1 lower ball joint mounting bolt that snapped off clean when I replaced joints. It is one of the inboard bolts that visibly come out the other side. Can I use a longer mounting bolts with a split washer and bolt after drilling the entire old bolt out? Probably not the safest thing I get that but just trying to get feel for what is feasible.
Thx
