I loosened the other side and then used the jacks from all of our cars to **** the weight to where the clearance became close. It took some time, but having patience was a good departure from going Incredible Hulk with frustration. I then put my socket on the bolt and forced the bolt into the hole with a bottle jack. It was kind of a gamble as I was afraid of damaging the threads. With the jack holding the bolts position, I proceeded to tighten to specs. I can't believe how much better and quieter the car rides and handles.

One more question. One of the bolts had become so corroded that the zinc plating was dissolved and the bolt began to rust. I replaced the bolt, but was left wondering if the chassis was rusting out. I didn't see any signs of rust elsewhere. Is this a common occurence ar could this be cause for alarm?

Take it easy
