BTW! I found an article a about this and it says that they only make
offset cross-shafts nowadays to Pontiacs,
is this the case for Chevelles as well? Pelle Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well if the car is resting on blocks placed underneath the lower control arms,
then the uppers wont be resting on those rubber bump stops. If you have any
trouble, just ask.

I’ll be careful. I know that the upper control arm doesen’t have a
spring in it but if one let the arm down too far the rubber stop could act as
a spring! But I wont do that! I’ll do it like Joe said! Thanks

The upper control arm doesnt have a spring in it. If you support the lower
ball joint like Joe said, then youll be just fine. It wont "hit back" on you.
But as always, be careful.

This is the way i planned to do it and thought might work when I looked at
how things were interconnected. I'll proceed with caution & if i notice any
heavy load on the ball joint nut I'll stop! (or run) As long as I
don't let the lower arm pull the upper arm all the way down to the rubber
stop, creating a load, there should be no way the upper arm would "hit back" on
me!? I'll be careful! Thanks! ----- Original Message

upper front controlarms? If you support the weight of the vehicle
with a jack, directly under the lower ball joint( or as close as possible to
the end of the arm) You can remove the upper ball joint nut, break the ball
joint loose with a pickle fork, and then remove the upper arm, no problem. The
key is supporting the Vehicles weight at the outer end of the lower
control arm. Joe 70 SS From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

STOP There is pressure everywhere in there. Take a
look at how things are connected. The spindle connects the upper/lower control
arms. I won’t go into more detail on how to take them off safely because they
can be dangerous. Ask a How To and folks with better verbage than I
will respond. Spring compressors are a nice tool to use to keep yourself safe.

Hi! Is there any tension from the springs on the upper
"a-arms" ? i.e. can I remove them without removing the springs? As
far as I can see all tension/weight is on the lower control arm?
I need to change the bushings :-/ Pelle size=2
