Rebuilding front end

I currenty have a 64 biscayne with drop spindles and I can tell the control arm bushings are almost shot, so I thought if I was going to learn how to change those then I should do my whole front end.  Anyone know where I can find out exactly how to do that and how difficult it can be?  

There is a good article in the current issue of CHP but it does not go into what you are looking for. The suspension joints are a taper fit and with the right tools are somewhat easy to change. The bushings, however can be a pain. They usually require heating to get them loose enough to drive out.

Are you talking about the old ones being a pain to get out or the new ones being a pain to put in.  Also, where would you suggest buying the front end kit from?  

Put a spacer between the sides of the U-channels and use a BMFH!

this i think is the article .,,,

i take it that you are talking about the lower control arm bushings on your car.. that uses a strut rod suspension with a single lower bushing...    


the upper are described...  

the important thing is to leave them loose until you get the car back to ride height..

if the bushings are tightened with the suspension hanging...    when you set the car back down... it will put the bushings under stress...  when you hit a bump... they will try to tear....


here is another...
