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.

Just get a drill un in there and start drilling right through the bolt. I did it and it came out fine.

Even worse is mac's doesnt have the right size castle nuts I needed. Now I am waiting for Corwin to order the damn nuts as I sit here car-less and pissed off.

My toyota wasn't even this bad!!all cars that old are that hard to work on. as cars get newer, they get easier to remove parts, but harder to work on/diagnose. but the one thing that hasn't changed much is fasteners on every vehicle driven in this area. salt + cold/heat + water + oxygen + age + our bad roads = easily damaged bolts that are external/exposed to the outside easily. this includes brakes, suspension, exhaust, engine areas and more.
