2nd Gen Panhard (track bar) bolt question
Hey hey,
So I'm in the process of installing a panhard drop bracket, and the passenger side bolt won't budge. I've heated it, banged on it, tried variations of lifting and depressing, and no luck. It's appearing my best shot is to grind it out and melt the bushing with a torch. Then I can install a new bushing kit and a new bolt. Problem is, I have the oem part number for that bolt (90109-16002 if anyone else needed it) but it's going to take 1+ week to get it apparently. Can I use a replacement bolt that's more standard (like another 9/16" x 3") instead on attaching the bracket to the frame? Or the track bar to the bracket? Or should I order the OEM bolt, leave it torn apart for a week, and hope it doesn't snow in the interim? Thanks guys!
