Ok, I broke the heads off the bolts off the bottom of the rear shocks 2 weeks ago. This week, I cut the nut that's welded to the rear shock off, so there's no more threads holding the bolt in the bushing. But I still can't get the damn bolt out of the bushing! Hammering doesn't do anything... gonna try a torch later.

How did everybody else resolve this? I can't believe a 4 year old car is so rusty. I need to get this car back together so I can put my new turboback exhaust on the WRX. That way, if I break any bolts on the WRX, at least I still have a car to drive to work.

 

sorry man wish i could help hehe...get new shocks...

 

I have new shocks, that's why I'm trying to take this stuff off!!!

Eibach Pro Kits & KYB AGX's ready to go at a moment's notice.

 

Get a drill bit about the size of the bolt and drill that sucker out. I lowered an Accord that had the same bolt that was being stubborn. I used a lot of liquid wrench and I didn't force the bolt off. It eventually came off, but it just took some time.

 

It probably doesn't help that this car has been caked in salt for half of its life.
