I may well get that mount.. But it raises the issue of what holds down the bushing on the control arm? The cross member also serves that purpose.

Thanks for all the advice guys. i may try to use the awl, collapse the bolt, and re-tap the hole. I'm fortunate to have a whole machine shop and auto shop at my disposal.

This can be a P.I.T.A. I've been there, done that.

I once broke an Easy Out in a stud, and that made matters worse. No more drilling was possible with that sucker in there.

Can't remember what I did now. Probably swore a lot.:stupid:
