I'm not certain, but I think it's quite a bit of work to get a new screw in there from underneath. I'm an idiot when it comes to stuff with cars, but I though I read somewhere that it's a real pain when it happens.

dam thats too bad
you have to remove your suspension.
Compress the spring
remove the top hat. take it apart (falls apart once its off)
and replace the stud plate.
its a metal plate that had the 3 bolts on there.
Its about 20 bucks or so. I replaced mine last month.
