Panhard bar, Bolt hole Ovaled out?
Alrighty, so im changing all my old bushings in my GTA mainly because there was a annoying squeek coming from the panhrad bar, and I assumed its bushings.
However, get the panhard bar out, and the bushings are perfectly fine. The actual bolt hold on the passenger side of the car is ovaled out slighty. Anyone else have this issue??
Any way to fix it without going with an oversized bolt/bushing?

Weld a tight fitting washer over the hole
Looks like 86TA beat me to it

Thanks, but actually the new bushing kit sleeves had a little more room. So I fit a bolt that was like 1 or 2mm bigger and had to redrill out the holes inthe car. Now no slop in sleeves, bushings, or mounting holes
