Default For those breaking rear strut bolts.

I have had my KYB AGX in for a bit over a year and the weather never stops eating my car. I am putting skunk2 sleeves on and even though I have aftermarket bushings, the bolt snapped again. My concern is that the bushings are harder and harder to find. I had to grind through the bushing to get the bolt out because it snapped inside the LCA. I thus destroyed the bushings. I bought my last ones from energy suspension. I am having a bitch of a time finding these bushings because the last kit I bought is discontinued. The kit they sold me was wrong and is just smaller bushings, not the shock mount bushings. So if you want to do something other than OEM replacements which suck and have to be pressed in, then I hope someone can find an alternative other than full lower control arm replacements. I'm basically just giving a heads up on what seems to be a future problem, but at the same time I am wondering if anyone has any other solutions. I will post a part number for the right ones shortly.

Good luck to you and bump. Usually my local shops have answers to these kinds of questions, so I don't have to worry about it.
