you dont need to cut any welded nuts...
did you weld one or something?
what do you want to do to the rear? you should atleast throw some lowering coils on it, IMO the rear susp. is much easier to work on

Ya think so? I thought front was pretty easy. I just cant break the nuts loose. On my friends, we had to cut the screws and get new LCA's. Teach me your magic!!!

PB blaster is your friend!!!
Seriously spray it on there every 30 minutes or so a few times a day for like 3 days.
The BEST trick I ever learned is using a rubber mallet on suspension pieces. After soaking the bolts get your ratchet on there and wail on it with the mallet
I promise you it will work.

LOL, that doesn't sound to safe. Maybe I'll try a breaker bar of some sort. I'm sick of driving around like a danm foxbody.

Yeah I'll give it a shot. Tomorrow I'm changing my oil, transmission fluid and PCV. Also going to inspect my rear T-bracket and the transmission mount. This summer for me is all about maintenance and getting the car to run 100% healthy as can be. With the way this economy is looking, I'd rather save every penny I can right now. It will be tough for us 16-25 year olds looking for a place to live and starting their lives in the real world. Modifying a car to get pissed on by another car is last on my mind.

Its totally safe dont flail around under there I just mean hit it hard. The reason you use the rubber mallet is so it will soak up the vibration and also to keep it from bouncing or slipping off the ratchet. Seriously man I GUARANTEE it will work.
I have Done my suspension and a buddies 3 times this way and you would not believe how well it works. I call my mallet the negotiator
