So i bought a pair of used oem side steps off a guy for 100 dollars, came with all hardware. Only one problem with it is on the drivers side of my car. The front of the steps has a bracket that extended out under the driver and has a 6 M flange bolt that should bolt into my frame. That bolt hole on my frame is rusted enough to not allow this bolt to go in. Should i worry about not having this bolt in even though the rest are in?
Also, should i take my car to a shop and have them do a tap/die on that hole to make it one size bigger to have a hole to bolt into?
I stood on both sides and they feel equally as strong. To test it myself and my girl climbed up on each step and bounced the car up and down to test if they would snap off. Both steps preformed the same and i couldn't tell one bolt was missing on the drivers side.
