Just got a question about the LCA bolts on 2nd gens. I've been reading alot of posts and stuff about guys having problems with the LCA bolts seizing up and having to cut them off.

My question is: Is everybody just buying new arms after cutting the bolts? Can the arms be salvaged if I get the old bolts pressed out, ie: new bushings or what not??
I've got coil overs and adjustable cam bolts on order and am trying to prepare myself for the worst.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Dont think theres any bushings available for the lowers. I do however have a set of lowers you can buy.

Oh, so if the bolts are seized there's no saving them? Didn't know if there were any bushings or what not, was just wondering if there was any kind of seviceable parts that could be replaced after cutting them off.
Could the old bolts be drilled/machined out to save the LCA's? Would really like to not have to spend anymore money than need be. Wallets gettin a little thin these days. I will keep you in mind if I do need a pair and can't find any local. Thanks.

You may be able to grind the head of the bolt off as well as the threaded area and try and pry it out. then try your luck at pressing the bolt out or drilling it out.
