    Sorry bud. I was thinking it was 2 wheel drive.

    Its gonna be tough to get that bolt out and it looks like the other shock bolt is broke off as well. You might think about removing the whole control arm to be able to work on it easier. If you go through all that might think about a junkyard piece to replace yours. For now Id take the shock out completely since its not doing anything except possibly banging into stuff.
