HELP! Putting Stock Spings back on
I'm putting the stock springs back on my struts. I got the fronts done.
Now I'm having problems with the rear bolts. I broke one off already.
This seems like its a common problem (thank you salted roads). From the quick research I've done it seems the best way is to take the lower control arm off and not messed with the seized bolt on the strut.
Anyone have any suggestions how I should go about this?

Update: I got the PAX rear side done by unbolting the control arm.
I'm not sure I should do the drivers side as the bolt head busted off, so there could be play in the strut.
So I guess drilling it out is my best option now?

you should just order two new OEM lower control arms. they will come with 3 new bushings each and all pressed in, shiny and ready to go and last you another 10 years.
