Finally got around to the lower A-arm bushing attempt. Was all I could do to turn the bolt by standing on my 3 foot breaker bar. Another year and I bet it would have been stuck...

Suffice to say, I'm *really* glad it was the front most bushing that seized to the bolt and not the rear most.. Kind of thinking that loosening the nut and giving that bolt a twist might not be a bad thing to add to the annual maintenance list..

And I expect that seizure is the cause of the failure... Now for the fun of pressing whilst trying not to bend the A-arm... But I figure getting that bolt out is about 90% of the whole job...

Yay!
