So you think Im uptight just because I call a solicitation gay? Time to look at the big picture.
If i go out with a video camera and make some crappy DVD, set up a show and charge to get in for the release party, etc. C'mon these people cant be serious.
On top of that Import car shows usually suck around here, still never been to a good one.

Oshkosh is in an odd part of the state, not much happens up there. Your kinda stuck between Green Bay and Milwaukee.
Like I said a few posts ago WIR is right around where you will be.

Car shows suck around here but that doesn't mean we can't try to make it a good one. Since this is the first show, it's going to be a little rough but if they keep doing this every year, it'll just get better and better. If you ever been to HIN, we're trying to bring that scene here into our own hometown. All it requires is the support of the locals and so far, I've been seeing a lot of support for this show.

Hate to break it to you but I think the bolt completely snapped and it's seized inside the bushing in the control arm. When you're rotating it, you're rotating the bushing too, which is why it's hard to spin it. It's happened to me and I guess it's happened to the previous owner because I see Energy Suspension bushings on one side and the other side is still stock...
You are correct the bushing is spinning, I have the energy suspension bushings, but how do I get this busing out? What/where do I cut, what do I heat?

TBH, IDK. Been trying to figure out how I can get it out and tried to find out where I can heat it without melting the bushing itself. I'm stumped on this one. Never managed to get the bolt out and never got to install the Energy suspension one the other side.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to get the lower front control arms off? I have all bolts removed except one, its the one that attached to the front sub-frame. What really chaps my *** is that the bolt is spinning but it isn't coming out. I am stuck and can't seem to find any pointers. THis bolt seems to be just as hard to remove on the passenger side as well. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

Subframe bolts, I've never had an issue with those. But my suggestion would be to use a block of wood and hammer it out and possibly heat it too if it doesn't budge. Probably is rusted if you driven in rain and/or winter.

Are you talking about the front bolt (the horizontal one) or the back bolt (the vertical one)?
And did it actually unscrew from the threads and get stuck in the bushing, or did it break off, leaving part of the bolt still in the threads?
