Topic: Rear strut rods and shocks.
in Forum: C3 Handling Components
Going to be replacing rear strut rods , one was bent so replacing both. Doing the rear shocks at the same time. Looks pretty straight forward. I'm using rubber bushings, should I use any type lubricant to slide the in place. Thanks , Dan.

Thanks. Having a issue removing one of the strut rods. First came out with hardware no problem. Second one is bent , i have all the nuts off every bolt, even tried using a jack to relieve some of the pressure. Using a long punch hitting shock mount bolt in center as not to strip threads. It wont budge. Spray it with some blaster penetrating oil, going let sit overnight. will try again in morning.
I tried but I do not have the room to really get a good hit on it. It's really in there. That's why I hoped to get the one by the shock (which has been removed). Off to relieve tension on the other end.
