Front control arm bolt spinning

Go through the tread on rusted control arm bolts, some one had a picture showing access to those upper nuts under the carpet.

He said the front, not the rear. That one is horizontal into the cross member, not vertical into the floor.

Oh I wish it were the bolt that likes to rust through but it is the horizontal one you can see from the front. It is basically boxed in on all sides with thick welded steel.

I should take pix and document this to help the next poor soul with this problem. :)

Exactly. Unless someone has disassembled this, they don't have a clue what you are dealing with.
