Not sure what upper lower control arm bolt u are referring to but when I was replacing my lower control arms my bolt (camber bolt closest to firewall) was frozen same thing...I tried everything and ended up using a big freakin breaker bar and a steel tube to get the force and it broke it free but was a tight turn all the way til it came off. I also used alot of PB Blaster Spray. Took a while but finally came off. the bolt was toast but it came off.
mine is the same way but in the rears, i tried to do an alignment at work and they're frozen. does anyone in here know how much they cost to replace, cus if i hit it with my impact gun i know that bi*ch is gonna break.
I had the same problem on my is250 when i removed the coils, we took a torch and heated it up, came off in a jiffy. good luck. bolts are cheap. i bought a replacement from lexus for under 10 bucks for bolt and nut.
