Rust is likely the culprit. Get aggressive.
Rust remover (Mopar brand is very strong), BF hammer / punch / socket or
extension.
Supsension bushings sometimes need a gas torch, burn the bushing out
literally.  Ruins the bushing. Messy / stinks but its fast & it works. Hand
held gas torch works.
But didn't need to go that far on my 250k '89 SHO.
I hammered it out.

> I am trying to cure a  bunch of front end squeaks on my old '92. Got the
moog greasable end links during the last clutch swap, and am now doing new
upper strut mounts with the spacers and lower control arms. Or, at least
trying. Strut and spring assembly is out, nut is off the tension strut, and
nut is off the bolt that connects the LCA to the subframe. But I can't get
the darned bolt out of there for the life of me. Going to rent a spring
compressor now. If anyone has any tips or tricks for the LCA bolt they would
be greatly appreciated!
