It is hard explain but the bushing inside of the control arm has a metal tube/sleeve and the rubber is bonded to the sleeve and also the outer part of the rubber busing is bonded to the control arm.

When the rubber bushing goes the inner metal tube can turn around. That means that if the Bolt is rusted to the metal tube and the bushing is no good it is possible for the Bolt to turn freely but still be attached to the metal tube and the metal tube is to large to be pulled through the bolt hole.
