rear bolt lower control arm stripped 2008 LT Panel
Trying to change out my right lower control arm , bad ball guide and bushing. all the bolts except the rear main bolt are backing out. that one just spins. any way to get at the top nt without cutting thru the floor?

You can get to the cage nut from underneath the car . Use a 4 1/2 inch grinder to cut the nut off, then get a replacement bolt M14 and a replacement nut M14.

You could try jamming a screwdriver in to hold the nut.
