What's up guys.

My buddy Justin and I are putting on my coil overs. And we broke this bold for the rear....figures.

We went to a parts store. No luck.

Dies anyone know what this piece is and/or what the bolt size and thread is?

We did that exactly. The rears are done.


However now the only thing holding us up is the passenger sway bar end link. Dang thing won't break loose. Just spins.
 
On the link you can put a wrench to hold it from turning to get the nut off. It's in the back side of the sway bar were. The rubber is on the link.

Tried that, but it just rounded off the rear nut. There was barely a lip on it.

We ended up just cutting it off and replacing the part with a MOOG unit.
 
What size is that nut on the rear shock bushing/bolt that threads into the knuckle? I ask because I am attempting to change to coilovers and the rear passenger shock bolt spins the entire bushing with the m12 bolt that secures the shock onto the bushing. It looks like its in the 27mm to 29mm range, but I want to know for sure before i buy a big wrench.
