Suspension Issues - Please Help

I don't think that compression rod bolt will come out easily. Afaik they are welded in to the box section on the chassis rail. So that will need to have all the spot welds drill out to remove that section to get the bolt out. Similar to the rear cradle mount bolts. If I'm correct it's a big bloody job! A

I was afraid of that aha, it certainly looks very difficult to get out. Ah well i guess i will find out soon, hopefully i can find someone to do it.

Yeah unfortunately I think Im correct. Just reading up on the same problems on the rear of an S13 as this is the same style bolt and fitted into the chassis the same. They had to drill a hole from the inside of the car through the floor to access the top of the broken stud. Then try and drill it out to remove it and bogy up an a/market bolt and washer to fit back in. I wouldn't tackle this yourself unless your very confident with the tools.

Good luck and hope Im wrong.
