rear strut bolts
 

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! :eek:

bump....... anyone?

Why are you changing the bolts it's not normally necessary unless they are damaged.

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.

Which bolts?

strut/ hub bolts. bottom of rear shocks to hub.

these ?

yeah same ones i found from sprintinghare jdm. link i found was 32.50 but with postage prob the same price.

The easiest option is Subaru and give them a good greasing before fitting.

ICP £10.

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.

How many do you need? As we can supply them at a cheaper price thanks

hi i need 4 all in. upper and lower both sides. pm me with details please, thanks.

Get a pair of camber bolts in there man, then you only need a pair of normal bolts

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.

Try an shock gun to try crack all the rust off

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.

La co rust buster, soak it for a few days, wire brush and a hammer.

Got them in stock now, if still needed :thumb:

will be in touch m8, got a fuel pump issue to resolve first!
