The body mounts forward of the rear wheels can be accessed by removing the inspection door in the wheel well. Remove the four screws and you will see the top of the mount. The bolt goes through the body into a caged nut on the frame. If the bolt spins or does not move, it is most likely frozen or the cage nut is spinning. If that's the case, the bolt has to be cut or ground off and repaired. Best to get a copy of the AIM for your car to see where and how the body mounts are located. Some of the vendors have the diagrams on their web sites or in their catalogs. Jerry
