So, i ended up just cutting the bolt off. I hacksawed it off right by the shock, between the old shock and the spacer. Cut off the bolt head with a cutting wheel, and let the parts just fall off. I had to get Volvo bolts and nuts for both side, tapped out the old bolt from the spacer (volvo wanted $11.00 each for the spacer) but installation was a snap!... Put on KYB cheapy shocks, $22.00 each from Amazon auto.. It's good to go! With the money I saved, it's going to make replacing the front struts even easier.. That bushing mount, I can't get around, but the KYB struts seem fine to me... for a 21 yr old car, what the hey?
