Went to take my OME shocks off to put on some Bilstein 5100. The lower rear shock bolt rusted completely to sleeve that goes through rubber bushing. I had to cut them off. Will be putting Anti-seize on from now on!

I just replaced 5100's with OME's, much better ride now. But yeah, anti-seize is good stuff

The difference is about $15 a shock.
