I kinda car but I kinda don't. Its rusted and prolly won't be driven more than a year or 2. Where can i find the bolts?

[DelSlow]

i think i have some, ordered them from honda, there like 18 bucks a piece. ..

What do u expect from a car that's over 15 years old, most cars i've worked on that are that old are like that, especially if they've been driven all year round.

Yuck! Thats half the cost of my springs. It may be worth it tho.

Im sure i have a set or 2 laying around, but f-it just go and get some at macs, who cares??

[thurmanmerman]

Does it really matter if they are grooved or not?

[KA-T_240]

do they use those bolts as a way to adjust camber on hondas? if so, you should probably get the right one.

my car is 17 years old, and i have never snapped a bolt of on it.

This is common and shitty. If I had a extra set I would hook a brother up!

Any bolt will work but make sure it's grade 10, otherwise you might break it..

[Afsil80]

Ditto, except for a bolt on the heat shield when I was pulling the KA out.

[darkelvis]

those grooves are to keep the bolt from spinning, but, most of the ones I see at the shop were previously fucked by another mechanic who reefed the hell out of them and spun the grooves smooth. just go buy some a macs.

[thurmanmerman]

They aren't going to back out at all are they?

well if you have some then there mine. as you still owe me a few... bastered

[thurmanmerman]

I am FUCKED! Well I broke of the head of the bolt that goes through a threaded nut thats WELDED to the shock! Is there a safe way I can drill out the bolt? I was thinking I could jack the rear end up, take the wheel off and jack up the suspension and then drill it out but will that work without messing something up?

They have the exact bolts that fit at the scheels on Uni, they fit like they were made for the car. Ive bought a few there.

I did that to one of my old cars. Just get a drill un in there and start drilling right through the bolt. I did it and it came out fine.

[thurmanmerman]

As of 2 minutes ago make that 2 bolts I have to replace. Never realized how hard it is to work on older cars. My toyota wasn't even this bad!!
