new upper a-arm bolts

[mike86ttype]

i need to replace the to upper a-arm bolts because they are not pressed in any more and turned when they tried to do the alignment. What is the easiest way to do this and does anybody know the part number for these bolts. thanks

GM part number 461854. Still available. They press in like wheel studs. The easiest way is to back the nuts off with the suspension loaded on the shafts so the bolts dont turn. Pop the upper ball joint to gain access to the back side of the arm and R&R them. Some people tack weld them in because once the hole is stripped than the bolts wont grab the frame anymore. Once you put some pressure on them by way of the upper shaft than they pretty much wont turn on you so they dont really need to be welded if you dont have access to a welder.
