my next thing on the list, didnt notice that they were bad last summer when in did disc brake swap, BB coil springs, new ball joints. but things have changed since then. the ones on the drivers side are toast. so will be doing all of them-uppers/lowers. any tips, sugestions. car is street driven, not auto crossing and dont want to spend tons of $.I'm sure stock type rubber ones will be fine. i used Toms trick to get the rear bushings out a while back and it does work-thanks for the vid tom. appreciate any advice. thanks, John.

John I have 2 extra sets of upper control arms. You are welcome to one of them to have them Stripped and prepped for your new bushings- that way you can take it apart and back together at the same time...
George is supposed to be bringing me his seats to re-upholster soon, i can give him the arms to give to you when he is up here if you'd like

the plan now is to order lowers and replace them too. makes sense to me. looking at what moog has, there are 2 choices on lower control arm bushings; 'oval or round rear lower bushing' I never seen oval ones on any chevelle/elcamino? anybody have them on their car?
