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.

 

Use a punch and hammer knock out the broken bolt and nut it is only tac welded that's what i did and just put a nut an bolt back in took like 2 min to do

 

Buy BPE's and have a shop throw them on.

 

my income doesnt really support having a shop do anything at the moment, unfortunately.

 

with the bolts that are on the bottom of the body? i dont see how that would work..

 

It's time to put on your thinking cap and get creative.

 

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.

 

ohhh ok I get it now. I'll have to see if I can borrow a punch and a hammer from someone then. thank you for the explanation.

 

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
