No access to that, unfortunately.

Luckily, I purchased a pair of arms some time ago and had the bushings and ball joint installed.. Same with lower. I figured that way it would be an easy in and out job with no down time getting joints and bushings installed.. As usual, my "easy" quick job turned into a PITA...lol

I thought about a Sawzall, but thinking not enough room, at least with the one I have.

The bolt spins freely... It's "stuck" to the inner part of the bushing not allowing it to back out. I've cut one side of the bushing and bolt,but not enough room to cut the other side.. I hate to do it, but I may just have to cut the control arm.

I've got narrowed down to the inner sleeve.. The bushing will turn independently, but the inner sleeve won't.

It's disconnected from spindle. I don't have a "real" torch, just a propane one. I've held the flame to it for long periods of time and beat on it while applying heat. I guess I'll just keep going at it that way. I've had some stubborn rust welded nuts and bolts in the past, but this is...

Yep.. The other side, the bolt snapped off, but I was able to work the bolt out.

I'm guessing rust welded..?

I have an upper control arm bolt that refuses to come out. I have soaked with PB Blaster for several days, put heat to it and beat it with a 2lb sledge...WON'T BUDGE..!! Don't think I have enough room to cut it out...maybe with the right tool...but limited space..

I at first thought it was wrong too... but I ordered in a set from Moog and they were the same in my kit. Thanks for your response and pix.

Thanks for that info..and with your explanation it makes sense. My kit only came with one "long" sleeve.. Can I ask, if you know, how critical it is for the sleeve length to be "right".. Meaning, is there a tolerance...or does it need to be perfect..?

Yep, sway bar links. 72 Demon
