#31438, "RE: curved control arm + broken bolt = bad news." In response to In response to 1
Originally posted by foggy45 ouch bro! i can relate as i snaped off 3 of 4 of those! to get those out you can either do one of 2 things to get it to work. 1. if there is enough of the bolt sticking out you can weld on a nut to the remnants and back it out with that. (the heat cycling of the weld can sometimes help it loosen as well in this) 2. drill it out depending on your space and which direction your drilling from it might be easier to drop the subframe out. i droped mine out and fit it into a drill press so i could keep it centered and not FUBAR my threads. when your done make sure you run a tap through it to clean out the threads good luck, but this is way cheaper then getting a new subframe
I'm in the same boat right now, what size drill bit and tap did you use? I'm assuming you used an exact replacement bolt too.
