OT Broken Bolt on Upper Control Arm
my 91 Olds Custom Cruiser's right front tire was leaning in at the top. The front bolt on the upper control arm was broken in half. Is there anything I should know before I replace the bolts. It looks pretty straight forward.Any help/advice would be welcome. thanks.

You should be able to just tap that bolt out and replace it. It looks like the shims might have fallen out of the other side also since the arm isn't sitting flat. You may have to bite the bullet and dismantle the suspension on that side to get everything back together since you will have spring pressure on the upper arm.
BTW, the bushings don't look too good either. Remember this is the Corvette Forum and our motto is "rebuild everything".
