Im trying to remove the subframe. I got 3 bolts loose and ready to come off but the rear passenger one holding the control arm is just spinning. Anybody ever deal with this?

I never had the issue with the cage nut but it is VERY common. Someone else can chime in.

I havent checked, but if i cant find them at the dealer il message you about the bolts because i probably will need new ones. Any idea if the cage nut can be bought? I only see part numbers for the bolts.

I have been taking my time on the ldk swap. I found these cracks on the exhaust mainfold and turbo where they connect. I cleaned it with a dremel to take a better look. Is this something that should be fixed? Theres no cracks on the outside.

Cracks are totally normal for the stock turbo/manifold. Every one Ive ever seen from an LNF is like that. There is no issue with using it as it is.
