if the threaded ends of the ubolts are already buggered up, and you have the torch hot. heat up the control arm, get it nice and red, and the get the BFH, and hit it like it like ya mean it. Try and drive it out a bit, and then drive it back in as a means to loosen up the rust

OH YEA buggered up is a southern term. kinda like FUBAR
