so i was installing my springs. and when i got to the last one passenger side rear. i broke the head off teh bolt that connects the strut bar to the control arm. i went through one drill bit. flattened the other one. couldnt get deep enough to use an easy out. got maybe 1/8 th inch in not even . finally gave up and took it to a machine shop got it back today they said they cant really do anything abou tit. they tried their best. thx god they didnt charge me. so now what? should i just replace teh strut and control arm?or grind the nut off the strut
and put another nut in? the shop said its frozen to teh bushing. im not sure

 

just change the arm it easy to do

Try using a die grinder to cut the welded nut off of the strutt.
