Help - Shock mount bolt? Lower Ball joint nut?
Hey, I lowered my vette with the standard bolts and I cannot tell much of a difference. I have the WCC bolts, I just don't know how to install them. Specifically, I don't know where the lower shock mount bolt or the lower ball joint nut, that allows me to lower the controll arm. Does anybody have pictures or can give my some pointers. Thanks

Pull the wheel off and the lower shock mount will be obvious. There are 2 bolts that attach the end of the shock to the control arm. There are nuts on the under side which you will need to hold in place while you loosen the bolts.
Right next to this is the ball joint nut. It is pretty large. I forgot the size, but it's the same size as the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts. The bolt that the nut is threaded onto can recieve an allen key into that end. You can't miss it.
