I just had to have my steering knuckles replaced. They ran close to $400 a
piece. Had to have them shipped from the plant in MI. Took 3days to get them
and UPS has lost one of them.. Good Game UPS!! Dunno if the control arm is
as much as the knuckles.. Your best bet would be to try an easy outs on it.
You can drill a small hole in the bolt and start an easyout in it and it
will back right out. This is a fancy one but, craftsman does make them.

have to drill it out and put a heli coil in.
Good luck, Hop
