Thanks for the info! I ended up getting all new ones all the way around
from the dealer (they lasted this long, right).
Also, does anyone know how to get a broken lower shock bolt out? My lower
one broke and left me a 3" stub sticking out. I've tried the two nut
theory, PB blaster spray, and a vice grips. Unfortunately, it is now
stripped pretty good of it's threads.
Thanks!
