Swapping eibach sportlines and tokiko blues from a 97 to a 93....should have been all good right???

nope.....

Two bolts were frozen, and needed the threads cut off, which was fine on one, but on the other, the pin had corroded w/ the bushing cylinder, and the friggin bolt needed to be drilled out.

the "easy" job took all damn weekend long....

But the owner, made it all worth my while ($$)

hardest job I have ever done....and I do a lot of work on a regular basis.

That sucks about the frozen bolts, but at least you made a lil lunch money

man-i know what your saying-i replaced my struts a year ago and had to do the same thing, then when i replaced them again two weeks ago, the right rear LCA/strut bolt was siezed in that stupid bushing cylinder again.. Is there anything that can be put on that to keep it from siezing? would a little anti-sieze on the shank of the bolt help? Im always dealing with bolts that have coroded because of the winters around here.

yes, you should alway use some "anti-sieze" compound when reinstalling suspension bolts
