Default Ground wire help

So I was removing my hid kit. Well I wasn't paying attention and broke the stud where they put the ground wires. I move it to the bolt the holds the bracket for the power steering. All should be good right? If not how to fix. I drove the jeep and all seamed good I just wanna be sure

I would think as long as it's grounded it would be fine

. I agree. As long as it a good tight connection it won't matter.

Yep, if you've got a solid ground then you're set.

Do you think the powering steering bracket is a good location. It's the bracket that mounts to the cross member

I don't see why it wouldn't be a good choice. If you have concerns about it being enough, you can always run some low gauge wire (10ga) from that ground spot to another one or drill a hole in the frame and run your wire to a bolt there.

Again- I would think what you've got is sufficient. If you notice accessories acting up, then maybe consider adding the additional ground wire to what you've got.
