Q: I have a 2003 Chevy Impala

asked by on February 16, 2017

I have a 2003 Chevy Impala, LS(just trim and 3.1 Liter). Went to replace front stabilizer bar and bolt on right front that goes into the sub frame that is sealed. Bolt just spins. HELP. What can I do? Can I cut a SMALL hole into side of frame to get wrench in to put new bolt and nut in?
