Fellow jc members,

Had to take my exhaust off over the weekend and have found that the 02 sensor thread is rooted, I've done some re search and can only find videos of non helpful info!

Has anyone had this? What did u do to repair?

I have a 2.5 mild steel cat back exhaust (xforce)

Is it the thread on the O2 sensor, or the thread that the O2 sensor screws into?

If the first, just replace O2 sensors?

If the latter, helicoil? Run a tap through and hope for the best? Get new ones welded in?

Done some more research and the helicoil seems the way to go, it's the one that the sensor screws into
