I would try one of these companies.

And I know Van Steel has them, because he lists them in his catalog. He can actually rebuild those for you if you send them to him.

I meant rebuild the strut rods. |hammer| If your shock mounts were like mine they were Toast. Pricey little item.

Shark,

I agree with you, despite using the proper tool, I destroyed my threads and had to replace my shock mounts too. |hammer|

I have found that you end up having to replace just about everything that is connected to the part that you originally intended to replace.

These cars can truly be a money pit (still love 'em).|cussing|

Ben, I know that you dropped a pretty big wad already, but for another $80 (plus shipping) you might as well continue to ask Santa for new parts.

Besides, I like the way all of the new parts fit together.

Good luck,

Anthony |saluteflag|
