It would be rusted in. The single bolt is a slide thru just like the track bar. Now the 3 bolt end, them thread into the body obviously.

I had to take a sawzall with a fire/rescue blade to mine. Ran it up between the body and the bar itself. Then replace it with a diff trackbar n bolt.

I've had the same problem getting mine out. Hard to beat it out too! If you got it out you can see the problem is the bolt rusts to the inside metal sleeve of the bushing. Think I used some PB Blaster and a pry bar. Wedged the prybar in between the bracket and the track bar and, well, pried.

Not counting peak load, I would imagine it would carry the rear of the vehicles weight. So 1400lbs? Cause if you can do 1G, then that's as much force laterally as is applied down.

The track bar itself or the brace above it?
