Lowering Bolt Replacement?
I plan to replace the front suspension height adjustment bolts. The car is an '02 coupe and I'm getting a lot of ' creeking' from the front suspension. All the info I've seen shows one or both A arms being removed. Is it possible to remove the bolt without disconnecting the A arms? Can I get the bolts out by disconnecting just the shocks and sway bar? Thx.

Watch the Video, you do not need to remove it.

Lots of info in this link. But I'm not seeing anything that refers to removing the bolts without disconnecting other stuff. The OE busing are shot so want to replace them with something else.
P.S. Does anyone know the size of the bolt? Thread size and pitch?

You do not have to disconnect the A-arms.... When I replaced my front lowering bolts, I used a jack with hockey puck under front leaf to push it up...so I could drop out bolt.
I think I might have loosened the lower shock bolts..( But I can't remember for sure, a few years and a few cars/trucks ago)
