Lower control arm bushings

[drsantos]

Any tips on replacing the lower control arm bushings, can I do it with the car on the ground?

Nope - car has to be off the ground, lower control arm has to be removed.

Sure can't. I'm doing my front end right now because of a bad control arm bushing (lower) what bushing you going with poly or rubber I went with rubber c bushing but poly with everything else. the biggest problem I'm having is coil spring installment and a hold up waiting for a bolt for the upper c arm shaft where they put the alignment shims, spins . That will make the alignment guy want to kill me

Your local GM dealer probably has them in stock.
