OK guys, I need some help (rear traliling arm)
So here is the situation
I decided to do my entire (or atleast, the important parts) suspension this past week (inner/outer tie rods, lower ball joint, front upper arms, springs, struts and brakes all around)
OK, here is where it gets nasty. I went to undo the last (always last effing, ehougekjhdkjhdsh) bolts for the rear shocks on the lower bolt (17mm where it connects to the rear trailing arm or whatever its called) are frozen!!! Wont budge. Nothing
Well, took it to my friends shop and he couldnt get it out. He said he didnt want torch it because he didnt want to the bushing to go up in flames (fair enough)
Question is. Will I need a whole new rear trailing arm assembly and lower shock bolt?? Thats what he recommends, but I figured they werent cheap to replace (or easy for that fact)
I also have a hard time finding it on the net as I am not certain as to exaclty what it is called (or if I am looking for the right thing)
Can someomne please point me in the right direction (as far as locating parts goes as well as removing either shock, rear arm assembly or both)
Well appreciated
