Help broke upper control to spindle bolt
 
The upper contol arm to spindle bolt cracked when trying to loosen this, the whole nut sheared off right where it meets the contol arm.
​​ My problem is its the only car and I have to get to the Nissan dealership 10 miles away to pick up a new one. I can slide the bolt through but it won't have a nut on it. It doesn't seems that the contol arm will pop out once the weight of the vehicle is down...anyone think I can make it to the dealership like this??? This sucks.

dont chance it, more damage could occur
get it towed

I wouldn't chance it. Just because the weight is on it doesn't mean it can't come off. I once had a spindle come off the lower ball joint because in a matter of confusion my dad thought I tightened the bolt and I thought he tightened it.

I ended up destroying an axle and bending a strut because of it.

Uber it sir or have a friend take you, not worth the risk of your life or anyone elses

I found a machine bolt that fits..it's only a half inch longer but should get me there without any problems.
