Sorry I've been way to busy to be able to get a picture. The lower control arm has 2 bolts connected to the subframe. 1 of them broke and I was able to take off the other bolt. But the arm slid right off so now I can see the broken bolt stuck in the subframe. It has about half an inch I'd say sticking out. The head of the bolt just broke off.

Get someone with a welder, weld a huge nut on it, make sure the heat penetrates into up into the threads.
Removal - work the bolt in and out, slowly. It will come out.
If you have a 220 outlet I or someone else could bring a welder to you.
Again, pictures would help

Just get a vice grip and heat the bolt up at the threads with a butane torch till it starts smoking and turn it out then.

I believe I had this exact issue a year ago on my old Talon I sold to CornFed 2.4.
I ended up buying a couple different drill bits, drill it out in stages. Then chased/tapped the threads and was able to use a new bolt from mitsu. Got lucky.

Finally got a hold of a camera. Here's how it looks like.

Torch and a stud remover or Vice grips. Or weld a nut on that batch
