Ok, so I was installing a new set of lowering springs in a 1998 GSR today, and the rear lower shock bolt is seized to the rubber bushing in the control arm. I heated it, got it to break loose, but you can see the whole bushing try to spin if I wrench it. Tried a BFH to knock the bolt thru but no luck. What are my options here? Heat the bushing with Oxy/Acetylene torch and melt it out of there? What is the name for the bushing, lower strut mount bushing? Let me know if anyone has had this issue, and what your solution was.
