i went to put on a strut bar on my BE and on the passenger side rear bolt on top of the strut broke while i was tightening it down. its the closet bolt to the firewall. i have a hour ride on the highway for work tmrw will it be safe driving with only 2 or the 3 top bolts on? and how do i go about fixing this? can it be replaced or do i have to buy a new top hat?

This happened to me awhile back.
I would take the strut bar off, and see if you can still get a nut on there.
Yes you can replace the stud.

You can run with just two bolts - just don't hit too many bumps or corner crazy.
