I broke something in my car its under the control arm, and its got like 3 bolts on each side and i believe it holds the rotor and brakes and thing straight. Anywaz i tried taking it off but the bolts will not budge any1 have an idea of how to get it off. Gladly appreciated. Thanks

Lower ball joint?

The bolts may be riveted to the lower control arm... So you to verify 100% that it isn't.

Telling us what car you own would be a start.


If they are just bolt's.. well... keep going at it with lube... and muscle... If this is your first project on a car then it'll take you a while...

Supplying the model and year of the car is always a good idea in these type of posts. :hitwithro

Careful not to strip the bolts.

thanks for all the help i found out that the control arm was broken and i installed the new one, but now i have to replace the strut, does anyone know where i can get one for cheap and where it is cheap to install or is it possible to install myself?? Thanks.

junkyard for a cheap one... i dont think YOU can install it with ease. maybe get someone to help you.. ask a few shops around your area

You can put the struts in yourself, BUT, you will HAVE to take it for an alignment after. Unless you know how to set the camber.

how to put them in
 

do u know how to take it out and put it in, is there like a guide with pictures and step by step info. thanks

hey, i think a Haynes or chiltons manual would be useful for u + it also helps when ur tackling other projects..ur local canadian tire should have em...or on amazon.ca...good luck
