I took off my RE Swaybar drop brackets today since I've realized they were unnecessary bc my discos are plenty long enough. When I tried to bolt the swaybar back up to the body w/out the brackets however, I've got one bolt that doesn't want to go back up into the nut inside the frame. It wants to go about halfway up before it starts getting ridiculously tough to turn. Have I crossthreaded this nut, meaning that now my swaybar is FUBAR and I'll have to run it with 3 out of 4 bolts, (not a wise decision in my opinion)? Do I risk breaking the nut off in the frame by trying to keep turning it, or is there something else I can try? Anyone else ever have trouble with this?
(I posted this here rather than in the OEM tech discussion board simply bc I reasoned that the "modified tech discussion," being mostly offroaders, would have had more experience messing w/ the swaybar and all of its hardware).
