broken shock bolt !!!
hi guys, could someone tell me if the bolts that connect the shocks to the frame are studs or are they welded in place ? was removing them and pow... both snapped clean off! what a sickener. still i guess that's what you get with 24 year old bolts. thanks for any help...b.b.Tags: None

Make sure you use a grade 5 or better bolt on those shock towers. A regular bolt (grade 3) will undoubtedly bend on you.
