Trust me, I wish I could do that, but I'm the guy everyone takes it to. If you keep going and break the bolt, you'll be hauling it to a shop on a tow truck. No fun and not cheap. autonurse User May 13, 2014, 10:40 PM Post #3 of 3 (1718 views) Re: stuck control arm bolt Sign In thanks my thoughts exactly. its not like its a bolt that goes through with a nut on other side that could easily be cut off and replaced.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
