i think you stripped the upper control arm that connects into the engine bay...the camber kits that are shaped in an "L", you stripped the top nut part i think..

cant drill it out..im not sure how to fix..buy a camberkit that is shaped in an "L" and cut the bolt that you have now and replace the cut bolts and the old ones with the L shaped camber kit.. thats what i would do..

 

try using vise grips, or cold chisel and hammer.

thats how i got mine out

good luck

 

Don't drill it out... since it's a nut you have some options... there are wrenches that are made to grip on the flat spots not the points... try to use one of those if that's out then you can do like the guy above me said with the vise grips...

Worse comes to worse you can use a hacksaw or dremel to cut flat sides on the nut to get a better grip..

good luck

 

is completely stripped?? I have crescent wrenches that are made to get bolts out without stripping them. the name starts with a "d"

 

i tried a vice grip, and it didnt work. i cant drill it out, its a 17mm nut that is used to secure the swap bar in place.

 

That happened to me when I was replacing my suspension. I tightened a bolt instead of loosening it and stripped it (I was tired). What I had to do was buy a spare socket and JB Weld it to the bolt. I let it sit overnight and it came off easily the next day. I think that regular JB Weld works better that the JB Quick crap. I used the quick stuff and it never really hardens. If you have time, you might wanna try the above method.
