And also the adjusting nut in the middle. How should that be set up?
Pulling in so it's tight? Or pushing them out. Thanks

The strut brace I cant help with you with, as I found no benefit from having one fitted.

As for the bolt you snapped, it goes into the top mount.

Unless you can get it out with an easy out and a drill (not advised).

Then take the whole strut out and replace the top mount and bolts, you probably will get away running without 1 bolt though; your choice.

Mebies even use it as an excuse to get coilovers and replace the top mounts at the same time.

Happened to me twice now. First time I just drilled it out easily enough. Haven't got round to doing the second one yet because it's not un safe how it has snapped
