Original shocks
My shocks are pretty rusted on the lower mount. I have been spraying them all day with supertech rust breaker from walmart and the bolt wont budge. Does anybody have any suggestions? Could it be because i didnt do the top mount first. I have worked on the is for like 6 hours total.

Break the shock mounts off and get the $5 replacements in the help section at Auto Zone. They work fine and come with new bushings so you have an extra set.

Nope, not welded. Use a 21mm socket to remove them.
