Subframe support brackets

[tidyclio]

On the mk2 Clio they have two brackets that bolt onto the back of the subframe either side. When I was chaning my anti-roll bar bushes one of the bolts snapped when I was tightening it. What would this do?

Has the head snapped off into the chassis?

Yeah clean with the chassis so going to have to drill it I think.
Would it make any difference with 3 bolts?

 

[16v_jon]

yes it will mate they are vital- mine came loose and i could really notice the 'give' it shouldn't be too hard a job to drill out

When i'm braking their is a vibration through the body of the car when I brake did you get that?Feels like warped discs definetly isn't though.
Needs done for the mot so going to have to get a stock of drill ends!

yes i got vibration and a clunking noise - i changed the bushes as you did and forgot to tighten the supports back up, whoops

Yeah well I wass thinking one bolt shouldn't matter the other 3 will do the trick if it's just for re-inforcement so stuck it in for it's mot not even thinking about this for the guy to fail me on it. Be good if it turns out to be why my brakes seem fooked though.
Cheers
