For anyone that has installed the MCS shocks, did the splined shock bolt? The splines do not fit on the lower shock hole for me. Called Vorshlag and they said they did not have issues with the splines either. I tried freezing the bolt and torching the strut and knuckle and the splines would catch the strut hole, not the knuckle. I even rented a ball joint press to push the bolts in. The strut hole clears the knuckle, I can stick my finger through without catching anything. And a M16x2x70 without splines feeds through perfectly.
I went to 5 hardware stores yesterday and I could only find 1 M16x2x70 10.9 bolt. I have to shave off the splines on the other bolt with a Dremel like Picasso. Still haven't gotten it to fit through. Have emissions due at the end of this month, so I can't wait for another bolt to ship.
