I have a drivers side Rear Lower Control arm, that the bolt broke on (one closest to brake caliper). I have the control arm off, but was wondering how to get the old bushings out to change them? Also, the bolt (what's left of it) is seized on the control arm so I can't get a jigsaw in there to cut it out.

Thanks in advance

 

you try pushing it out with a vise. i use what ever socket would fit on the bushings metal collar, and then on the other side of the arm have a peace of pipe longer and wider than the bushing so it can come out.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a shot

 

drill a bunch of holes through the rubber and get the center out, then use a hacksaw and saw through the outer sleeve, bend the outer sleeve in and then hit out with a hammer

 

Burn it out

 

Thanks All. Ended up Burning it out. Now it's tiime to locate the bushings. Nobody has them, and I am told they are two seperate kits. Wondering now if I should just buy new Arms. Any suggestions?

 

I have a new energy suspension control arm set if you want it, and yes its 2 different parts control arm bushing and then the shock bushings, I might have the shock bushings as well left over from the master kit, Ill have to go take a look

 

just buy some new stock, bushings. can't go wrong with them.
