WD-40 huh. i'm not sure that will work, but it's worth a shot. I even tried heating up one of the nuts, but i just ended up stripping it.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

you can try raising the rear and trying it again. Its hard to tune your strut bar when the car is on the ground.
