So have 2004 roadster 48000 miles, all stock Squeaking coming from rear and original shocks shot. Installing Tokico HP series blue all 4. I don't track like the oem ride so I choose these shocks, wanted Bilstien B6 but discontinued.
So get to the last bolt on the last shock all 3 other shocks installed and done. Drivers side rear the big bolt that holds shock to arm the weld snaps of oem shock, nut now just spinning, very carefully I cut bolt without touching rubber. Now bolt is rusted solid to bushing and rubber bushing comes out with shock and bolt. Can not get rubber off bolt, seized to shock bolt.
So my questions are can I replace the bushing in the shock knuckle ,and any idea on how to get rest of bushing out of knuckle?
Any ideas car is useless till this is fixed.

Sorry new to uploading pics anyhow first two pics are the same control arm or knuckle that the rear drivers side bottom of shock mounts to and the third pic is the old shock after I cut it off and I still cant get the bolt out but the rubber shock bushing is wasted . Please any ideas or help would be nice. Don't want to replace the entire knuckle.
I pretty sure I found a knew lower shock bushing, hope its right. Go to Nissan and order bolt. Just have to get old bushing out of knuckle, any ideas? While still on car.

Order a whiteline bushing for the shock mount, and get a puller and I believe it's a 27mm socket you can pull thru and the outer shell out. The outer shell can also be cut out with a hacksaw.
