Hello,
I read a thread the other day with instructions to do the rear shocks. I already had them in the mail that's why I was looking for the instructions. Now I went out about 5 minutes ago to get them done and it sure does look like the rusted bolt on the bottom end will break if I put any elbow grease into it.
Can I get this bolt at VIP, AutoZone, Napa, Carquest? I'd like to get these shocks on as soon as possible. I mean, it's 3 bolts but if this one breaks on me then what? I have nothing to drive to even find the bolt.
So basically I am asking is the 15mm bolt on the bottom end of the shock going to be an easy find? I'd rather brake the old one and replace it anyway. But if it's special order I'd like to know to so I can figure out where to get it from and if anyone has a part # for it.
Thanks much,
Matt
