i need some help in ct
Hey guys, I'm not 100% if this is the right place to ask this or not, so I apologize of its wrong...
I just bought a 94 xj, and the rear drivers side shock was missing, the bolts on the unibody for the mount are snapped off flush. I was wondering if there's anybody in the ct area able/willing to help remove the broken bolts and install the new shocks Amd a steering stabilizer? I don't have the tools or knowledge to remove them, and my apt doesn't allow repairs in the parking lot.

Ill cut to the chase, it works because the bolts and actually snapped off in a weld nut in the unibody, there are small annoying access holes to which you might be able to feel the end of the snapped bolt and weld nut. and like grey90xj said, get a punch on and and hammer the crap outta of it till it breaks the weld nut off.

Best bet is to snap off the factory nut and have a new nut and lock washer welded to a piece of wire to help fish them back in the hole. On my 98 the passenger side was easier to get to than the drivers side
