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?

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.

Ill be careful.
I know that the upper control arm doesent 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!
Ill do it like Joe said!
Thanks again guys :-)

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!

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.

STOP
There is pressure everywhere in there. Take a look at how things are
connected. The spindle connects the upper/lower control arms. I wont 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 :-/
