It's the ******* 19mm lower control arm bolt. Blasted the bitches with shitloads of liquid wrench and attacking them again tomorrow.
I'm looking at different impact wrenches now. Not sure if I want to get another pneumatic or to get an electronic one for the convenience. Right now I'm eyeing the Chicago Pneumatic CP7748 or the AIRCAT 1150 . Have any suggestions?

Those were quick jobs that took me an hour. Going to do them again later down the line and make them look like they were factory options

Holy crap, how much torque does your impact wrench have?

Sorry didn't see this earlier. It does 250 ft-lbs. I got two cans of liquid wrench and doused every single ******* bolt on the front struts with both cans. Going to attack them again tomorrow.
