So I'm putting a leveling kit on my 06 Ram 1500. I have one side on but the other side is giving me problems. The shock bolt on the LCA seized in the bushing. Was able to cut the bolt and get the shock off now just kind of stuck. Does anyone know if a ball joint press from Autozone or Advanced will work to get it out?

I am about to have the same problem this weekend, They do not sell a replacement bushing for my 08 you have to buy the whole arm, but from what I have read that MOOG part number #K200183 will replace the stock bushing, It is not listed as a replacement part but is the same size as stock, So today I have ordered all new lower a arm bolts, bushings, lower strut bolts and new bushings so my guy can cut it all out and replace. Oh yea I started spraying everything with PBlaster oil today for this coming weekend.

Yeah. I just ordered the bushing off rockauto.com. Driver side was fine did that in a about 2 hrs, the passenger side is a different story. Renting a ball joint press tomorrow to get it out then wait for the new part and button it up. Kind of glad I didn't take to mechanic
