Nice. So you didn't do upper control arm bushings at the same time?
Are you going to align to stock specs?

Thank you for being a part of our community!
VP only had one upper ball joint in stock so I decided to do all the lower stuff now and then the uppers when I get the other ball joint.Nice. So you didn't do upper control arm bushings at the same time?

I don?t have that problem here even les Schwab can do it
It?s crazy I know adjusting more than toe
Have replaced a lot of these bushings over the years and its really not that bad after you get the hang of it.
Check this out on Facebook, non-rusted bushing out in mere minutes w/out any drama, of course I found it out not long after changing the 1800s lower bushings https://www.facebook.com/blaze.sk.5/posts/10155345895166453
No Facebook. How does he do it?
What's so hard about the upper arms?
FYI, I'm currently eating these words. Getting the upper bushings back in is a nightmare. The only thing I can think to try is cutting a section of pipe that will span the inner faces of the bushing surfaces, then notching it to fit over the spindle that has to be there. Otherwise you're just flexing the control arm instead of pushing the second bushing in. I recommend never doing the uppers.
Thanks for the confirmation. I really might not do them. The lowers were 1000x worse looking but I have to take off the upper control arms to do the upper ball joints...
read entire thread, never knew much about these 140s till now. fun car for you non-salters. drive straight and careful and keep up the good work
