yeah some people have to destroy the bushing to get that bolt out. Set it on fire with a torch...lol

 

I thought about it, ha ha!!

 

The shop that did my struts said if they couldnt get that bolt out of the bushing without damaging it, they would have to buy a whole new control arm because the bushing and control arm come as one ....

 

I just don't know what to do. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to have this done. One stinking bolt just will not cooperate with me!!!!!

 

Yea, I spent an hour on each side trying to remove those bolts. I ended up using a impact gun on one side to spin it, and an air hammer on the other. I put the guns past there recommended air limit and just kept at it till I won!

 

if the installation on a leveling kit stops you...dont do a bodylift...the 2 front tow hook are alot worst to disassemble!

 

Does it matter if there is weight on if or not?

 

Looks like I'll be trying to remove that bolt before I do anything.

 

I went ahead & paid a company to install the leveling kit. The kit actually raised the front about 3". Here's a couple pics. Going to pick out my tires & rims tonight. I'm just worried that 265/75/16's might rub.
