ur best bet is to take a grinder and cut the nut on the back of the lca off. then reinstall with a new nut and bolt.

 

cut the pointy end? is still stuck on the lca and the other thing?

 

i had this problem twice-pay attention if it's the one that goes into the shock housing...

you don't want to ruin the shock housing but you have to loosen the bolt's thread which will bend the shock housing outward from the lca, do as much as needed to be able to see the bolt between the lca and shock housing and dremel the bolt off...
it sucks i know but do not drive your car until you get this fixed
when you dremel off the bolt it's still going to be stuck in the lca and can be removed but it's a pain which is why i bought omnipower lcas...they have an allen screw holding the bushing in the lca so it doesnt spin in the future when trying to lossen the "frozen" bolt out of it

 

okay thx
