The front arms are off to the powder coater.
I have no idea how my control arms even moved on those bushings. Besides being out of round which you can see somewhat in this pic, the arm barely moved even after it was free of the strut ball joint. It just stuck out and if I pushed it down, it mostly twisted the bushing and popped back up when I released it.


Getting them off is easy, a little heat and then when the bushing starts crackling, just twist it all off with a screwdriver.




After four of them, you can detect the smell of rubber in any room of the house.
Smells like... victory.

The Tarrett bars require the old style (pre-73) sway bar bracket. So I had to remove the loop on each arm:


Chisel off the remains of the sway bar end loop"


And grind it all away to make room for the older bracket:

Here's a shot of the new style:


Into the parts washer and then off to the powder coater:
