Getting my boot lined with dynamat etc and it occurred to me i'll need to drop the rear beam soon to change the shocks (i'll probably leave lowering to someone else) so will need access to the bolts.

Am i right in say that blue 'circled' grommets are the bolts for the rear beam? What are the red 'circled' ones?

Thanks in advance.

Shocks are easy, just get some lube on the threads a few days in advance - they get hit by everything
