Re: Penny

If I had an extra set of 63-72 control arms, I would be swapping those in. Removing these bushings sucks!

The uppers weren’t the worst, but dadgum, these lowers are an absolute pain. I’ve spent over two hours just getting one bushing out… and the outer shell is still in place.

I’m real tempted to abandon these control arms and switch to something else. Would love some tubular arms and coil overs, but those are prohibitively expensive right now.

I guess I’ll keep on hammering and drilling these old bushings
