need some help on rear control arm bolt, it broke
sup guys, today when i was doing my springs on my eg hatch, the rear bolt where the shock connected to the control arm that bolt broke off cuz it was too old or tight. wat can i do now to take the bolt out so i can take the shock out. the head of the bolt broke off. is there any option i can do so i drop the car. the only thing i can think of is to buy a new LCA along with the shock. any suggestion?

Press the bushing out, then replace the bushing and bolt. IMHO, that's the easiest way of going about this. The bolt is very hard to drill out, and most of the time you end up ruining your bushing anyway.

I'd go with Del Sol Guy's response, it would be hard work but possibly the only way w/o damage.

I'm not sure what you mean.
You are talking about bushing 27, right?
