Is that socket still available for the upper ball joint?

then there's the torsion bars..hearing horror stories about them hurting people really bad because they didn't know what they were doing.

You can buy the entire rebuilt a-arm as well. No need for special tools.

X2 on this

Can you buy the rebuilt lower control arms with new bushings already installed being the lower is the one thats said to be the pain to replace the bushings?

we have a regular press at work (GM shop) that i could get someone to do the A-arm bushings. I think what im worried about is the torsion bars..I have no clue about them..I did NOT know you needed a special tool to remove them though..?

torson bars are no big deal.
you don't need special tools.
I have pulled 4 or 5 sets doing rebuilds or replacing them over the years and have never needed any special tools.

Generally I raise the front end, then loosen the adjuster on the torsion bars till they have slack, and then have a jack stand just a little lower than the lower control arm. then pop the upper ball joint. When it gives, it drops right one to the jack stand, controling its spring.
Then I use a jack to pick it up and then lower it with the knuckle till it is unloaded and just hanging there.
you can then use another jack or jack stand to support the knuckle as you unbolt the lower ball joint.

Then you can use like a tie rod puller to break the lower balljoint off the lower control arm.

Or you can do it the lower balljoint first and unbolt it from the knuckle later, instead of popping the upper first.

Once the lower control arm is down all the way no tension is left on the torsion bar.

I then note the indexing and if it is resting on part of the frame.
That is the flats on the torsion bar orientation to the lower control arm.

there is a retaining clip in the rear of the torsion bar, and all the years of crud have to be cleaned out.

Unbolt the lower control arm pin and hammer it back to push out the torsion bar.
hammer the control arm forward with the torsion bar cocked a bit to lock it in place to get the lower control arm off.

probably a few items like the shocks and strut rods I missed. but those all unbolt first too.
Might as well replace all those bushings while you are under there.

I usually take a week. unbolt it all, then clean them up and repaint pieces, then bolt it all back together.

you can piece together parts, or order a kit from PST or some others.

As said above, you can order parts from places like firm feel with stuff already installed on it.
like ball joints and bushings.
but most machine shops will do the press in and out for 10 bucks a bushing. Depending on if they have done it before.
