Rear lower arm bolt snap off...Any idea what to do?

fpr poutine · Apr 24, 2015

I purchased ff2 and for the past week ive tried to install my coilovers. Today i'm finally done with the the front coils, but has I begann working on the rear lower arm bolt it snap! What can i do now ?

option #1 : take it to a shop. Not my favorite option but its the easiest.
option #2 : Can i drill the bolt out?
option #3 : Can i hit the bolt with a hammer to pop it out?
option #4 : torch the bushing and the bolt

Second question

Were can i find new bolt ? i know i could get bolt from the hardware store but are they strong enough ?

Are you talking about 26 and 29? I honestly think I'd go with an OEM part on this one purely for safety concerns.

Trying to picture what you are talking about. Did the head snap off? That being the case, a hammer and a smaller bolt should push it on through. Leave the upper strut nuts on to relieve the bolt of the weight of the strut. These should be last out. Put a jack underneath the arm to relieve the bottom a little bit. Hopefully that gets you done but maybe pictures would help?

On my phone, I can't see too well but is it rounded off? Get vicegrips on there as tight as possible and get a socket on the opposite side and wrench it off... Hopefully...

Edit: Wait, it this a stock photo? Not your car, right? Can you email me a picture of yours?
