Stoopit Q coming up:
4 years ago, when tearing down the Shadow I had to resort to cutting off the top shock bolts as they just wouldn't come out (stuck in bushings I think)
Since they are long gone, was wondering if these upper bolts (and lowers, too) were unique in that they had special shoulders machined into them for the shock's bushing, or are they simply hardware store specials? Not sure if basic bolts fit as tight as oem not having play....
I took all my nuts/bolts to work those 4+ years ago and glass beaded and then sanded them. Now I have to remember which ones to use where via process of elimination...
