I'm putting my coilovers for the back on right now and I'm just wondering what bolt it is I have to remove after I take off the main one (that goes through the strut + LCA).



I've removed the top ones from inside the trunk. ty.

Is it the one to the right where my jack is?(I put it there to alleviate pressure)

(its a 92 4door) I'm almost debating cutting the shock and or shock.

 

Take the 2 bolts for the camber kit off and then it should come out.

 

I just tried, the head snapped off. What I have to do to get the rest out ?

 

You'll have to remove the bolt that attaches the swaybar endlink to the rear LCA and the bolt that connects the rear LCA to the rear trailing arm. The rear LCA inner bolt should be loosened a little bit too so that the arm can drop down and allow the strut assembly to drop out.

Also, the ABS wire brackets should be removed to keep from damaging them.

 

I really don't follow. I'm in a bit of a panic since I need my car for tomorrow and it's my only one... Kinda sucks! I'm tempted to cut the spring + shocks since I don't need them anymore. Anyway of going about it this way?

 

if u take off the bolt that connects to ur trailing arm ( the bolt above ur stock jack) and the bolt to ur sway bar the whole shock should drop with no problem

 

Thing is, they don't wanna budge!!! not one bit. And I shot them with PB Blaster. I'm going to go rent a coil spring compressor. And I'll have to look for a new rear upper control arm bolt

 

yea they look pretty rusted... another way is if u had someone stand on the rotor to pull down the lca so u can push the shock up to clear the lca
