Default End of suspension hell
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/24070/im000076.jpg"></center><p>Promised to post a follow up on to these. Broke these upper control arm bolts during a Stasis Street Sport install last week. Anyway, after one air compressor and a air hammer later, I was able to pull both of these bolts out. Here is what was left. Thanks to RKA for the PB Blaster and air hammer fix
