That was the make or break point. I figured if I could get the bolt out I could make a repair.

There is a guy on the GMTNation site that sells that ear mount. Cut old out, weld new in, done. I cant find the post for it thou..

Its extremely common for these to do that in the Rust Belt. Also be cautious of those rear control arms themselves. They love to rust/break.

I thought about replacing the whole mount but 260K mile $4,000 truck so, nope. Just gonna rock this for now. Besides, there isn't much room to work right there.
