It will be worth it in the end

 

man i sure hope so...the dealer was closed today, so i couldn't get a new bolt...and since i have to drive the car, i couldn't really force it too hard on trying to get it out...i ended up jacking it up, and then just having to put everything back on and got nothing done.

 

sure you did. you learned a very important lesson: even the best laid plans of men, can sometimes go wrong.

that's why patience is a virtue.

 

You learned that if everyone tells you that it's going to fail, it will probably fail and you should have gotten at least two of those bolts from the stealer.

 

+1 I had to do the same exact thing when I tried to my springs on. Now Im waiting for spring to put them on with new LCAs and bolts

 

Exactly, we don't harp on people about the same **** all the time just to hear ourselves speak


Sorry blinker, I know exactly what you're going through. My install took 4 days (probably 12 hours of total work time). It sucks, but you'll pull through and when you rip through that first set of twisties, it'll instantly be worth the headaches, I can promise you that

 

My install took 3 days...included 3 broken boltouts, a "cross-drilled"(by accident) LCA, use of a teggy LCA on the left side and a crapload ofbroken bolts. I ended up buying two shock bolts and three of the long pointy bolts. So yea, if you read through this and than decide to do your own shocks/springs...get the damn bolts. You can return them if you end up not using htem you know.

 

Haha, yeah i know guys, i expected it to be bad, but the dealer was closed, and comeon...when its sitting there, you have to at least give it a shot...when i saw they wouldn't come off, i just put everything back together. Now i have the parts ordered and ill do it as soon as they come...thanks for all the help guys.

 

WOOHOO bolts in today, too bad i don't have time to do the install today.

 

WWOOO HOO!! right rear is done.
