Get on the back of it and break the "welded" nut off... Go to home depot and get a matching nut and bolt for what you need and hell while you're at it, get money somehow and buy LCAs and throw them on!

i might have one laying around. i like to get extra suspension bolts when i go to the junkyard. problem is, my car is in pieces right now so it cant deliver it. also, try using a jack hammer on it along with soaking it in penetrating lube. also try using a propane torch on it.

I guess rick let me know when you get your car together if I don't get another bolt before then.

justin you were trying to take out the wrong bolt, you need to remove to two 12mm bolts on the car side. You never try to remove a bolt that MAY possibly be siezed like the one you broke the bolt on, always remove the one that bolts directly to the car. Don't worry about replacing it because it will never fall out and will be to much of a pain in the ass to remove

I've got that bolt if you still need it...extracting it looks like a pain in the ass.

I will be sure to let him know that you have what he is looking for man. He's gone right now, I'm not sure where he went though.
