On the passenger side the lower ball joint was seized so i used a sawzall to cut it off. After trying to drill it out i’m left with a wall of the bolt. the “wall “ in question
Any help would be greatly appreciated
You need to replace the arm.That's a machined taper.
Realistically can i drill it big enough to skip the new ball joint bolt in? Because i’m not expecting to use this car for much longer maybe a couple months. I guess i’m asking would it be ok for a while?
Did you even think to look at some Youtube videos on how to remove a stuck ball joint? You could have used a ball joint remover. Makes quick work of ball joints. Or even used a little heat to help remove ball joint. Drilling the hole destroys the machined surface. This makes the joint unsafe. We can not recommend using the car this way.

Obviously. I spent 4 days trying to get it out buddy. I used a pickle fork, ball joint separator, a jack and a sledge, and every youtube tip there was.
