rail repair?

[rosco]

I had one of the bolts that attaches the anti stab plastic caps to the fwd end of the suspension rail come loose. I removed the bolt and the cap to find an elongated bolt hole.

Has anyone had success repairing similar damage? I am thinking of haveing the hole welded and redrilling for the bolt. Then I will re install the plastic cap with some kind of an epoxy.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Silcone and rebolt it.

Take the plastic cap off and JB weld the hole solid and drill it out . Easy and it has lasted longer than the stock set up did.

I was wondering about jb weld. Are you saying that you did this with yours and it held up? If so I will probably do the same.

I posted on this subject years ago. Use a glue called Goop (any hardware). Bolt on with a bolt, and nylock nut.

JB welded two years ago (6500 miles) still nice and tight
