the other night i was involved in a hit and run the guy hit me and i spun into a curb. as in the pic below my control arm bolt separated the arm to the a- bracket. i would like to replace the bolt but i'm having a hard time getting it out. i can drill it but is it worth it? any advice is appreciated.. and insurance is not involved bc i only have liability.

 

Any junk yards around? You could very easily just run over and grab a hole new control arm.

However you could drill out the bolt and just replace it.

 

the junk yard was my first choice. bad part is that its a GSR arm b/c of the swing arm. i have an extra civic arm but i cant get the old bolt off that holds the 2 pieces together. the nut comes off but i cant bang it out i think its threaded. i dont want to ruin the threading.

 

Your post doesnt make sence.
Its a gsr arm becuase of the swing arm???

 

no its hard to find a gsr lower control arm that has the hole for the sway bar bushing

 

Doesn't have to be a gsr arm, all integra lca have the hole and some egs do too

 

thats great im gonna check the junk yards again. thanks

 

Do I spy a ripped boot?

 

If you don't have any luck finding a new control arm, I believe that bolt is pressed in. Kind of like a wheels stud. You would press it out and have another bolt/stud pressed back in.
