This is the stuff.My father in law has used it for years, and swears by it. I have used it on everything that need to break loose. It did the trick on 40 year old bolts!! I got mine at Pep-boys. Any good auto store should have it.

Two things that I recommend for lubricating the bolts. My dad uses this wintergreen oil. He gets it from a pharmacy, and it works great when soaked. I also like to use PB Penetrating Oil. Advance Auto Parts has this.

Keep taking the pictures and note what your doing. It'll always become useful to someone else on here.

And the pictures are great if you put together a folder of progress like I am...

Congrats on being one of the lucky few who has no problems with the bolts. It is almost like winning the lottery. Mine took about 4 days, lots of PB Blaster, a sawz all, cutting wheel, air chisel, much beer, and lots of swearing. Those 2 little bolts are by far the WORST project I have had with my car so far.

well i was going to wait till saturday, but i had a few hours to kill tonight. I started the right side first.



It went together very well. I added anti-sieze to the new bushings and installed. On to the left side. Again a boxed end ratcheting wrench worked well.



after all it was said and done, she looked level



So i checked everything out the right way. 27 and 1/2 in the rear



27 in the front-we are a go.



all in all it was a simple job. Anyone wanting to give it a go, it took about 4 to 5 hours all together. The springs were from cj's pony parts.
