guys i need to replace the rear shocks on my bug sti as 1 has seized. where can i get new rear strut bolts? im normally not bad at googling for stuff but im coming up short finding them on icp etc. anyone got a link for them? only one ive found is sprintinghare jdm so far and not cheap at £32.50 for 4 bolts!
sized bloody solid arch! looking like we gonna have to cut them off. tried some heat on them and still no joy so cant see any other way to get them off.
Try some of the breakers on here the bolts are definately reusable so no need to pay over the odds. I always copper slip the sleeved section of the bolts but garages never do.
Man they can't be that seized, try holding the nut with a spanner and using the breaker bar on the bolt itself instead. Usually have to anyway for the bottom one as the driveshaft is in the way.

I actually snapped a seized one when fitting some shocks and springs for a member on here.
trust me mate they are solid! i have a friend who has a small garage workshop so going to give them another try next week with a torch. they have been replaced before as these are gold kyb,s but i think it was early in its life they were done as they are frozen solid with rust.
yeah will try a few things next week as he will have a compressor so will have an impact gun as well as an Acetylene torch for some heat. ive seen freezing sprays as well which are meant to freeze it down to minus 45 deg. might be worth a try.
