Seized Bolts to Anticipate?

    I am planning some suspension bushing work for a 1991 Civic that is
    driven in salty roads in the winter. I replaced the dampers and springs
    last summer, and it was a lifesaver to have been warned that the damper
    mounting bolts for the rear dampers are often seized. This car is my
    daily driver and I am trying to anticipate if I should buy any bolts
    from the dealer as insurance before I attempt the work based on others'
    experience.

    I would spray everything down with a good penetrating oil the night before
    and just replace what needs replacing when you take everything apart.

    halo2 guy,
    Great advice--keep up the great work. It was better than the advice that I
    was going to give.

    True -- I find Cloil works well where WD40, etc doesn't seem to help at
    all.
