I recently made an adjustment to the koni reds in the rear. When I went to remove the bolt at the bottom of the strut, the spacer inside the bushing started turning out with the bolt and warped the mount slightly. Is this spacer threaded? Or is it just bound/rusted to the bolt? BTW, I have an addco RSB, so the bolt is not the stock one, but the longer one that comes with the kit.

Anyways, after removing the entire mount via the nut on the bottom of the axle/rear beam, I still couldnt tighten the bolt completely.

Any ideas? An impact didn't help things BTW.

I am kinda confused here.....but to answer your first question, the bushing sleeve is not threaded.....just gaulded onto the bolt. If it is out of the bushing, use heat and some good pliers while turning the bolt to get it out.

The rest is where you lost me...

it's out of the bushing and stuck to the bolt. when i turned the bolt out, the sleeve came with it and warped the part of the rear beam that the bottom of the strut mounts to

I'm confused as well. I have Koni reds. What bolt are you talking about?

I'm refering to the bolt that goes through the bottom of the rear strut and mounts it to the rear beam/axle.
