Hello,
Here is my issue: two of the radius rod ball socket bolts sheered off. The third is just gone. I see that I can order the replacement socket and socket cap here, but the question is about the bolts. When I look at the one on the other side, is seems like the bolt extends out of the engine block, and the socket and cap slide over it, and then nuts are used to tighten it into place. So, how do I deal with the bolts that are sheered off? Can they be unscrewed? or is the head of the bolt on the inside? If not then when replacing it, do I just bolt the new socket and cap into the existing holes? (they may need to be drilled and re-tapped)
