heat it with a torch and put wax on the threads then shock it with eather a hammer and a wrench or use a impact gun

Re: RUSTED BOLT BY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS..NEED HELP... (cstay)
i broke the head off mine last week when i was lowering my new car, be careful how you get it out 
i had to cut the welded nut off the other end of my lca and replace the bushing, and bolt.

yep had to cut off my factory struts and get the bushing pressed out with the bolt still in it but yeah if your car bounces in the rear and is really loose.... you need shocks

Re: RUSTED BOLT BY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS..NEED HELP... (Got Utensils)
heres a little trick i had to do once, If you land up rounding the head off of the bolt. I had to weld another nut to the bolt then beat the **** outta it with an impact gun (or maybe in your case a big wrench and a pipe )
dont forget the PB Blaster
