Default Suspension bolts

Who can I get to have a look at the suspension bolts? I've had the geo bolts checked and they are free but not sure on the best place to get the rest looked at...

What do you mean by suspension bolts ? If you've already had the geo adjusters checked they are the ones that seize up - the others (e.g. upper wishbone) you shouldn't have a problem with.

So am I correct in saying the 8 bolts I got checked were the only ones that get seized?

No.

Two wishbones per corner, with three bolts each. Plus caster adjusters, which will almost certainly be seized, because they are vertical in orientation.

Yes, but he's already had the adjustable geo ones checked and the caster adjusters were fine - the normal bolt and bush ones (upper wishbones, and rear lower front) don't need to be undone unless you're planning on re-bushing all round - Dillon is that what you want to get them checked for ?

I've just bought some coilovers and now I'm worried that the bolts maybe seized, do the wishbones need to be undone to fit the coilovers? :worried:
