I pulled everything off to have my bushings pressed in & ball joints. This may sound crazy but I don't remember how the a-arms go. I need to know which is the left side and right side. I really would like to see a picture if someone has one. I tried installing them but both ways look wrong. Is the spindle suppose to be straight up and down or leaning to one side. and is so which side.
Thanks

lower arms go with the sway bar link hole towards the front, then use the correct upper arm that lines up.

I can tell you how the lower A arms go. 70-72 lower A arms have oval bushings, they go towards the rear of the car. The uppers have 1 edge that is straight, that goes towards the front of the car.

Theres several pictures on my site of a 69 ss chevelle if that will help.

Good luck Rob

I understand the top a-arm and how it goes but not the bottom a-arm. Both bushings are oval.
Thanks

The 70 does not necessarily have an oval bushing in the rear. It's either oval or round in the rear, and round in the front - if both of yours are the same they are both round and this won't help you out.

Basically, the lower A-arm "points" or curves towards the rear of the car.

I "borrowed" this pic from www.einstyn.com (our "wagons" moderator site):
(check his site out on modifying them with some bracing before you install - they are a cheap way to REALLY strengthen the lower arm.
