Stripped Lower control arm bushing!
I was installing new lower control arm shafts w/bushings on my 72' 1/2 ton 2wd and realized that the bushing was rotating with the shaft when I was trying to torque the bushings. What to do? New control arm? Can I weld/tack the bushing to the control arm until I can find a new replacement control arm? The threads in the control arm were questionable when I dismantled the shaft assembly! This drop is turning into a $$$ nightmare! Help Please? Thanks! Its the right side...;-)

Re: Stripped Lower control arm bushing!
It was half a dozen years ago that I did mine but I do remember something about having the same concerns? I think it's normal for the whole damn thing to want to spin but I can recall what I did. Don't fret too much until someone with more knowledge can chime in...it may be sop that they spin.
