Those bolts are in a tight spot, the inner one anyway if you don't take the strut out.

They sure are. Drinkers side came off easy, captains side said nope. I’m hoping I can cut the head of the bolt off and get the bracket to move then remove the rest of the bolt with a vice grip or something.

You could take the strut off and see if you can hammer a 16mm 12 point socket on the head if it's not totally hooped already, if you cut the head off the bolt you're not going to have much to grab with a vice grip if that's what you were planning to do.

An air hammer would probably break it loose with a chisel head on it. Good luck.

Sorry but 48068A does not go through the shock.
See this diagram...

Yeah, you are correct. That bolt and nut are the front bolt and nut, that part was removed with no problem. It’s the very small bolt that is installing on that same bracket, but on the inside of he bracket. I think I’ve ordered the correct bolt, we’ll see.

Update. Got the new strut rods installed and I do believe this has fixed my shake. The bushings were very worn in the old rods.

I believe the alternator may be going by by now, shows 12.5-12.8 while running with a new battery. Zero idea how old the alternator is, but I’ll pull it and have it tested.

Shocks……these things are worn out. As this car will see much less duty now, and be handed to my youngest kid, he’d like it lowered just a bit. We put 19 inch wheels on it last year and it looks nice but it could use a very minor drop, like an inch or so.

Recommendations for decent coil overs that will give us a minor drop, don’t need top shelf stuff but want something decent as my kid will be driving it.

Finally got coilovers put on the kids car. The car is much more planted now.
