Control Arm Bolts
Trying to get the rear control arm to body bolt. would heating do any good since its rusted on the inside of the bushing? I'm talking stuck a brand new Ingersol Rand 232TGSL impact gun wouldnt even budge it.

You could also use a grinder or a dremel (would take a little while) to take off the bolt or head of the nut. Also a little penetrating oil and letting it sit overnite may solve your problem as well.

Trash it and then replace it with a new one. TomP posted a whole list of new bolts for suspensions a while back, the part numbers are all there.

I had to cut mine out with a Sawzall too. It takes awhile...the bolts and sleeves are very hard. Use good bi-metal blades and a lubricant while you're cutting to save the blades. You will probably go through a few of them.
