This is so incredibly niche on the surface, but this is useful for any suspension bolt on almost any vehicle. I've always wondered how helicoils worked and from watching your video I now know!
THINK OF THE CHILDREWN!

I’m about to do this soon myself. Thanks for the video. It’s very helpful. Can you use the oem bolt?
