RE: bushing needs to be replace when changing shocks?
well if a 92-00 the shocks dont have bushings on them, they wont come with them new.
BUT if your lower control arm/strut bolt does some out then ya wont need to replace the bushing msot likely. but if the bolt is seized or busts then you have to replace the bushings which is quite common....
but either way if ya do or dont have to replace the bushing when instaling the struts back on the car BE SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO USE "ANTISEIZE" all over the bolts! as well as buying new bolts if the bolt is seized or breaks of course
.
but put the antiseize all over the threads as well as the bolts shaft because the bolt typicaly gets seized on the shaft to the metal bushing.
