that nut is welded on the frame hopefully its not strip because yes you have to drop the frame good luck pierre
SOURCE: rear suspension
the best thing to do is bring it to a local shop
i dont know what it is like where you are but at my shop it doesnt cost anything to see what a problem is. anything is usually replaceable and if it is a bushing in the suspension it is probably a trailing arm or a lateral link "i think that is the real part name" they are not expensive. phone a couple of garages and ask them if there is a cost to find the problem

They make a special tool to press the ball joint (pin) out of the back of the wheel hub. I use a prybar and hammer. Position the prybar under the frame in such a way that you can apply downward pressure on the control arm. The bolt should still be installed holding the control arm to the frame. While applying as much downward pressure as possible on the prybar, hit the ball joint housing on the wheel hub with the hammer sharply and repeatedly until the ball joint falls free. I know it sounds terrible to hit your truck with a hammer, but you are not going to hurt it.
