Broke Strut Mount, Help!

Hey guys, I broke one of the screws on the right front strut mount, I guess I was twisting it too hard, it just snapped. =(

SO what should I do? do I need to replace it? I tried to move the strut up and down, but it seems the remaining bolts seem to be doing a good job, it won't wiggle at all.

If I do need to replace it, where can I get some stock ones? Do they even have aftermarket Strut mount that can be mated to my stock strut?

All suggestions will be appreciated.

It may not be wiggling now, but in the long run,more serious things may happen. DEFINITELY replace it !!!

those strut mount bolts are very weak, i think a recent thread stated they are like 14 lbs of torque. Get some stronger ones to save you future troubles.
