>OK, the passenger side rear shock mount bolt (rear) was loose,
according to the wisdom of the list I purchased a 1/4" drive, 12
point, deep 9/16 socket from Sears.
Works fine, I loosen the Nut, put a couple of drops of Loctite
ThreadLocker on the threads behind it, tighten it back up, Voila.
"Now" he says to himself, "Might as well...do the same to all the
rear shock mount bolts". "Good preventive Maintenance procedure" he
thinks.
Except the %$#%$&^*#@%&^%^&^%&& wrench won't fit/go on/turn ANY of
the other bolts!!!

Bill, there is a rubber plug in the coachwork that, when removed, allows
access to the nut that is not otherwise accessible.
BTW, when I swapped out the shocks I replaced my bolts with socket head
bolts and now I can use an allen wrench which fits a bit more easily.
Good luck
