Fixed some rattling and now life is worse off.

fixing the rattling it self didn't make life suck but seeing why there was a rattle at all did. my exhaust had a nasty shake when ever i idled and i was never able to really get under the car till i got some ramps today.

the cause...

The nut on the upper pivot bolt for the rear passenger shock stripped off and the shock was sitting on the exhaust pipe. so removed the shock, thought about removing the other shock to even out the wear on the tires and saw the other side had one cracked leaf spring so i left that shock alone.

- need new leaf springs

- need a new pivot bolt.

yay...

What i need to know: where do i get just a single pivot bolt? or do i have to go hunt down that nut and just re-thread the bolt?

Who would you go to for some new leaf springs. Currently i'm looking at kanter.

Check ebay for the mounting bolt,I saw a pair listed about 2 days ago. I went to a local spring shop and they were able to retemper and add a leaf to my original leaf springs. You may want to go that route and save some $$$$ :D
