Default torsion bar nut locstion on an 07

Just wanted to double check, where this is. The only 1 1/16 nut under the car is near the middle of the car almost right below the front door handle. For some reason I thought it was more towards the front of the truck nearer to the front wheel. Thanks for the help.

I found it, thanks for the help. I did it once before on my 2008 and I thought it was farther towards the front of the car than this one is. I jacked it up but didn't have enough torque with the ratchet I was using and was only able to move them a little before I decided to bag it and try again tomorrow when I have more time. Is there anything I can spray on the bolt to make it easier to screw in?

Spray the threads with PB Blaster or Kroil. Don't use WD40, it's worthless.
Let it sit about a day before trying to turn the bolt so it can do it's magic.

Definitely use--> PB Blaster, and get those threads on the bolt..Spray away, soak it good, (put cardboard under to catch the drips) Let it soak for awhile and try turning it again. PB Blaster does wonders! GL

That's nothing if you consider the thickness of the steel used on the H3

It could take decades to rust through...

I know the black 70 442 isn't (4th one in line from the left, it's mine), but maybe one of the other ones is?

Bunger, that Kroil is THE berries. Pricey at $18.50, but is the freaking best stuff there is.
