you can try and ez out, but more than likely wont work.

Just take whole piece off and take it to a shop they will get it out for like $30 bucks or something

You can also cut the welded nut that is behind the trailing arm and the shock and then use some washers and a grade 8 nut from a harware store.I've had to do this twice,it works.

ok so here was the problem.. the bolt was rusted in the bushing so there was no way to take it out. i started out just trying to hammer that shit out. then i started crazy shit like drilling it, and then torching it. yes ppl i said TORCHING it. i had to melt the bushing and pry it out. little did i know it worked.. still need help with the other broken bolt though.. the one that connects the LCA and the spindle.. any1 know?


heres some pics..


two different greens.. lol. need a new paint job



here it is after torching the bushing.. any1 kno how to take the other bolt out?




sheesh.. that bolt was still hot

happened to me, had to hacksaw the bolt out and replace the arms

[blackyellrx7]

i would take it all of and heat that broken bolt up and hammer it out the same u got the other one out that will to just put a small enough socket over it and hit on the to banng it out make sure the socket will be able to go all the way threw when u bang it out or put it on a press machine and press it out
