strut bolts.

[ClonedGTZ]

who here knows where i cant get them? advance auto dont carry them anymore. im not sure if the ones from a GA will work. my struts need to be replaced and the bolts are pretty well stuck in, ive hit them with a BFH a few times but nothing. so till i get new ones im not bothering to do struts. any kinda help on get bolts would be good

yea i think you gotta go to the dealer. When i tried they were going to have to order the bolts. they might not even be available anymore. most people just reuse them.

i wont beable to with them being stuck in pretty good. i soaked them with wd and PB. still they wont come out

You need a little more than a few times with the BFH to get them out. They're splined.

Moog cam bolt kit will replace them... at least will work for one of them.

I just broke one of these off trying to remove it from the knuckle,
They are hard to get out because they are splined in the knuckle and rust in there,
I had to beat mine out with a sledge causing them to mushroom,
I went to the chevy dealership and they were $13 EACH + SHIPPING,
So i said screw this and went to tractor Supply co and bought Grade 8 bolts that were the same without splines
Idk if anyone else has dont this but i hope they will work.

13 buck isnt bad. mine are in there pretty good. i didnt wanna go beatin on them and havin them mushroom and all and not have any way to get my car back together. when i do the new ones im gonna aintiseize the crap outta them so they dont get stuck. ill prob just get them from a dealer. or get a good set from a Grandam in the yard

When you guys beat on the bolts to get them out, put the nut on the end and thread it down till you have the bolt flush with the top of the nut, maybe the nut a lil higher. It saves the bolts and the nuts can be reused with a thread cleaner I have done this many of times. Sometimes i have used a torch on my spindle (in the past) to get the bolts out. Just a couple helpful tips.

Thats a good trick that ive used many times, only reason i didnt is because i was rather irritated by the time i got the sledge and the bolts were already really rusted and 2 has broken off..
