Thoughts on how I can get this the rest of the way out? The rear spring bolts were much easier to swap out but this front bolt won't budge any further. I have about an inch gap gap underneath but just can't seem to get a good enough grip on it.
Just did this. I had to use a vice for the last few turns. After doing all four I wish I would of just lowered the factory fronts and cut the bushings off the factory rears...
Thanks guys. Finally got it out, after oiling and working it loose. The car is officially slammed on all 4 corners with the new bolts. The stock bolts were in pretty rough shape. The car feels noticeably stiffer now which I wasn't expecting but not dissapointed.
you have more room if you disconnect the inner side of the control arm. If you insider a thin piece of hard plastic or aluminum, the ends hold up better. It's the side-to-side motion that destroys them.
