Doing suspension on my civic and the rear lca bolts are not coming out. I already snapped the head on the one going through the strut, the one under the drum is frozen and most likely going to break if i try anymore, and the closest to the gas tank came out fine.

I have read to just take the lca out and whatever, but i cant take it out since ones broken and the other is not budging. Any tips on what i should do? I dont really care if i damage the lca or bushings, i will purchase another set.

Also, does anyone know if 96 integra rear lca's will bolt into a 99 civic?

The control arms will not work.

Now take a cut off wheel and cut off both sides of the bolt and remove the bushing and pull the old stud out of the nut and replace it. Pm me if ur stuck ill show some pics

if they arent too bad some pb blaster will help you get that **** out, just soak the bolts and let them sit for a few hours then hit them with the impact wrench

Tap what's remaining out (after you use a dremel to cut both sides of the bolt off) with an impact hammer. That will jar the crap out of the bolt and force it out.

Ok, i need to re-use the strut. So which part do i cut off? Even on the bolt right under the drum? cut the back off of that? isnt it welded on? hmm i was thinking of just taking it to a shop and let them drill the one out and get all the others loose enough for me.

I guess i will just end up buying some aftermarket lca's since the will come with bushings and everything already.
