Alright, so my car is at the shop now for an alignment, but the bolts in the housing in item 4L,4R circled in the imaged are totally seized in. At this point it may be a destructive removal. Can these bushings be replaced without taking down the whole rear suspension? Is there a few things i can loosen to give it enough play to get them out?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The key things about rusty nuts and bolts:

1. Spray PB Blaster or WD40 everyday for one week before touching them.

People expect miracle when spraying PB Blaster or WD40 for 5 min and start working on them. This is not true!

Give it time (1 week) and it will soak in.

2. Use a propane torch properly.
