I had the same issue, fronts went in Smoothly, but the rears were a b!tch. I gave up after two hours cuz I didnt want to brake anything. Called up an import shop, went there and they had to use three different sized impact guns. The last one was freaken massive. They said that the nuts welded themselves onto the bolts over time cuz of high heat and dramatic temperature drops and high temps again.

of where the bolt broke off?

Yeah, I want to see exactly where you're having the problem. I'm gonna be doing my suspension in a few weeks too. :lawl:

before you try the other side, try heating the bolt, and see if that helps.
