97 Suburban K1500 4WD
Had a clunk in the front end so I am replacing the upper control arms, lower control arm bushings, lower ball joints, and tie rods. Everything was going smoothly until I got to the lower bolts. They seem to be rusted into the bushing sleeve. I can barely get them to move with a breaker bar, and my impact and beating on them with a hammer has not been able to get them out so far. I think I am going to have to cut them out.
Does anyone have a source for LCA bolts? Should I just look for grade 8 bolts in the appropriate size?
Thank you
