Hello, I was taking out the front, left, lower, control arm bolt to remove the control arm. The bolt head was towards the rear of the car. After taking the nut off and pulling the bolt back it hit the frame. lol. There was no way to get the bolt out , let alone put it back in. I had to take my grinder and cut the bolt off. Has anyone ever had this problem. I guess going back in I can reverse the bolt. Never had this issue on any of my other headaches, I mean gto's.

Interesting. If someone installed the bolt in that orientation in the first place, there must have been room to get it out. But regardless, bolt head to the front of the car is the correct orientation.

Yep, the first thing that popped into my head was frame damage.

My wife’s Chevelle was that way. I was able to get it out without cutting it, but I thought it was odd as well. Reinstalled in the reverse orientation.

if it went in... it has to be able to come out.

Same happened with my '65 GTO when I changed the bushings. I had to cut it out. I reversed the direction when I reinstalled.
