you can, but the whole arm is only a few dollars more and allow you to skip the process of pressing the bushings out.
Is the front bolt on the lower control arm threaded into the subframe? Cause it's just spinning around and not comming out and I can't see the end of the bolt where a nut would go. They were'nt silly enough to tack weld a nut inside the subframe were they? cause I don't wannt have to cut into it......
i believe so, just like vws, it is welded to the subframe...
Well thats just super......cuttin' time.
i found (if it is available to you) that drilling a hole straight down out of the bottom that about 3/8-1/2" (10-13mm) in diameter. The welding the nut back and filling the hole. it will never bust lose again..
On my 06 Wave, they replaced the sub-assembly on warranty when one of the bushings went on the driver side control arm. I'm sure they could have fixed it without replacing the whole thing though.
I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.
