From what I understand it was the head of bolt #15 that broke off, correct?

exactly. the top of the bolt broke off. and i asked them, the nut IS welded onto the strut, so thats why i couldnt get it off. but i still cant take the bolt out because its stuck going through the knuckle(where it appears to be a huge rubber washer, but i dont know what it is for sure), and then out the other side to a nonremovable nut.
the "rubber piece" im talking about is in the pic too sorta. its where the strut is bolted in, theres like a 1/2in metal ring(part of the knuckle), and inside of that, where the bolt is actually going through is the piece.
im probably gonna end up buying new struts from them, but im just hoping i can salvage the knuckles, cause theyre about $150 each.
