which one would you take out? the one towards the middle holding the tie bar or the one up close to the brake rotor? it seems like the one in the middle would be easier.

Middle one for sure, the other one snapped on mine and i had a lot of work getting it out. The middle one came right off on mine, the only of the three that did.

Prom? Damn youngin. Anyhow, the LCA won't fall straight down, you'll need to pull it out or tap it out with a hammer from the housing its in and then it'll hang there. Shouldn't take much to get the strut out after that.

well today i actually had a little time to work on the rear and i did what you all said, took the middle lca bolt out. that worked and i had the shock off within 15 mins. well i get it off and start to compress the springs and stuff then start to put the allen head in the top. yea, one turn and it stripped. an hour more of work and you see this--

yes, screwed up major PITA!!! well i havent put everything back on yet because i have a date tonight. lol, but i got the camber kit on and maybe i can get this done when i get home.
