Plan to replace a arm bushings. Started removing the front driver a arm but my ball joint spindle won’t budge from the carrier. Tried tuning fork, map torch, pbblaster, and two opposing BFH. It’s rusted in there. Anybody got alternative strategies? Perhaps I need a special tool although I don’t think the tie rod remover will work here?

Interesting. Anybody have a pic or part number? Does it simply keep moisture out of the torsion bar space?

Is the any other consumable parts that are overlooked? There always seems to be some small part, clip, washer, that I need to order that I overlooked. |

Check your torsion bars to make sure they aren't gouged from riding low on worn out bushings. |
