Hello Joe:

You should be able to re-use the hardware that is on the car now, assuming you can get the lower shock bolt out of the sleeve that fits inside the trailing arm-- the bolts often rust onto this sleeve. Having air tools will certainly help. Reassemble with anti-seize compound so the next time will be easier.

I was worried about rust when I did my '92 last fall, but it turned out to be very straightforward-- one side was fine, the other responded quickly to air impact.

The Boge Automatics are good shocks-- that's what I put on mine!

Good luck!
