I changed the rears on my 90' a month ago, original shocks, no bolt breakage. I honestly couldn't beleive it.

I just went to tighten one down tonight on my 96 because the shock was clunking every time I went over a bump. it turned about half a turn and then *snap*, there it went, piece of crap....now I have to drill it out....
