I was spraying my control bushings trying to get rid of that annoying
squeak I have and noticed that the 2 extended rear studs on the drivers
side that hold the heat shield / exhaust manifold on are snapped off! Is
this common? I'm gona have to remove the exhaust manifold to get them
out.....hopefully there's something left to get a vise grip on. Any
ideas why they snapped, I have had a wrench anywhere near
them....crystalized perhaps? Anyone else have that dam squeak...I can't
seem to loose it.
