    I had to cut through the bush & bolt on the bottom of my old shocks to get them out of my rear axle assembly.
    Anyone have specs for the bolt or a source for new ones?
    Cheers,
    Fionn.

    I got some from VW cheaply, and although I used some old bits off a landrover for a while, I wouldnt recomend it. The shoulder on the bolt is very important.

    Had to hammer the crap out of mine when I did my shocks a year or so back. Can't remember what I replaced them with, but if I were to do it again, I'd just use a regular 12.9grade high tensile hex bolt from an engineering merchants.
