[Roadsters] Ongoing suspension issues--pay it forward???

[Eddie]

Tim,

If you're talking about the lower a-arm shaft that the bushings screw 
into, you need a very large impact wrench to get those off.   A long 
pipe and socket won't usually do it.  Those things are HARD to get 
off...  Impact wrench is the only way to go... 

Also, if the threads on that shaft are damaged, you can get a brand new 
aftermarket one from Rare Parts.  That was the part I had made awhile 
back, and I'm sure they have them still...

As I started this process, I noticed that the REAR bar of one A-arm set up was bent--sure wish I had noticed this before I pulled it off the part car!! So, now I need one. Does any one have one of these parts that they would be willing to let go free or cheap?
