As posted earlier, even with extensive PBlaster use all 4 upper shock bolts on my '00 XJ snapped. I'm evaluating whether to drill and tap or just knock the nutserts out. I have some 8mm flanged nuts which would work great for the second option. My questions are:
1. If you knock the factory nutserts out and replace with a new nut, do you need to secure the replacement nut with a weld or in some other way?
2. Has anyone put the BOLT on top so the bolt extends downward and the nut threads upwards from the shock side? I am guessing there are clearance problems unless you cut a hole in the rear deck?
Thanks for your help with this. :smsoap:
