done, and on to the drivers rear. When disconnecting the upper control arm, I took the nut off, and it seems like the bolt is seized into the uprights. Need some suggestions to get it out. It is the bolt in the upper control arm on the rear driver suspension that you remove to take the rear coilover out of the car. Thanks

Does the bolt spin if you wrench it? Try a hammer? PB Blaster then spin/hammer?

put a jack under the rear CA and jack up the assembly, this will free up some tension on that bolt.

No, it seems like it is frozen in the bushing in the control arm

Default Update: Got the bolt out. Thanks for the help guys. The bolt was binding pretty bad, but jacked

it up and hit it with the impact wrench a few times, then hit it with a hammer and finally got it spinning so I could get it out. Thanks alot!
