How do you remove the upper control arm bushings in your 1970 Chevelle?
Remove the ball joint and the two bolts that hold the rocker shaft to the frame. Keep track of the shims! You will need to put them back. The easiest way to get them out is with a press, but you CAN use a vice and beat the hell out of them, although I wouldn't recommend it. Chances are, the shaft will NOT come out with both bushings in the control arm, keep that in mind when you press the new ones in... You will need to re-install the shaft BEFORE you press the second bushing back in.

There are two methods of changing control arm bushings. One method involves removing the damaged bushing arms and pressing out the bad units. When doing so it may be best to replace the bushings of both sides of the car. Since the control arm has been removed anyway and if the vehicle is of mileage it also may be the best opportunity to replace the ball joints. The second method would be purchasing a complete control arm assembly with new bushings and ball joints already installed.
