Default Siezed Rear Lower Control Arms

When someone says this does it mean the control arm itself is seized or the bushings?

I've never really heard of seized rear LCA's but what I'm guessing what you might be referring to is seized bolts. The bolt that goes through the metal sleeves inside the bushings sometimes fuses to it when they rust making removal very difficult. Many people snap the bolt heads off and this is of course more common on the east coast or anywhere where it snows.

i suppose if the bushings went to hill and the metal froze you could have some suspension that wouldnt move...

Stole my CD player and broke a window. Time to get a better one. Only thing pisses me off is the window.
