There is nothing funny or remotely cool about your user name so if you don't mind could you please change it. |

If it was went to be a joke, it's not at all funny.
In answer to your question, what bolt?? The bottom ball joints are pressed into the lower control arm and are fixed to the steering knuckle via a tapered seat. A threaded section pokes through the knuckle on which a nut is placed, but no bolts! |

lower ball joint is easy to get out. jack up the control arm and if u are replacing the ball joint just hit the shit outta it wit a hammer. too put one in is harder but get a jack and a socket. put the socket in the middle of the jack and place the ball joint in the hole for it. put the jack underneth the bal joint and jack it up a bit. get a hammer and hit down on the control and done. just make sure that the ball joint is straight |
