has anybody who has installed new struts had a problem unscrewing the lower bolt? Two people with civics that I know has stuck bolts and they had to have them welded off and i wanted to know if anyone has had this problem with their accord? i wasn't able to check mine myself because i'm not able to borrow jackstands till next weekend when i'm supposed to install my new shock,springs and camber kit. hopefully this is only a civic problem.l.

 

You might, you might not. Use lots of liquid wrench or WD-40 on them. None of mine were stuck, in fact they all came off with a 1/2" Drive socket wrench

 

i used a 3/8 on both my accord (40kmi when i first did it) and on my civic (130kmi when i did it)

 

None of mine got stuck either, all came out easily and without any problems.

 

another question, yes im new at suspension, what bolt do the washers go on to correct the camber, and how many do I need with a 2 inch drop?

 

If the struts have been changed, the bolts will be easier... my struts were factory when I upgraded, with 70kmi on the car, and the rear bottom bolts were froze in the bushing. I had to torch the ends of the bolts off... then torch out the bushing, and replace it with a new one that can only be had through Honda, for $12 a piece... then the bolts were like $9 a piece... I dont really remember what else there was, but it came to like $60 for the parts needed from Honda.

 

I just put on KYB-AGX struts last weekend and the rear lower strut bolts were a biotch! I used about half a can of WD-40 and a breaker bar. They were the original OEM struts on a 94 with 115k miles. I live in Oklahoma so there isn't much rust but they were seized up pretty bad.

As far as the washers to fix the camber..
basiccly you want 1 washer for each 1/2 inch of drop. Since you will need 4 washers you will probably want to buy longer bolts. The washers go on the upper link where it bolts into the frame/body.

Good luck!
