      round -vs- oval bushings 1970 Chevelle

      I have a 70 chevelle and want to rebuild the suspension. The problem is that I hear that some chevelle used and oval bushings and some use round. What year did this change and where exactly was it used. I read that the lower control arm is where they are and one site mentioned the rear arms by the rear end. It looks around 1970 they changed it. If anyone has a suspension rebuild kit laying around let me know if you are interested in getting rid of it

      The Round/Oval refers to the rear bushing on the front LCAs. I am not sure on the specifics on which cars got it, and which didn't. But I do know there have been plenty of cars that have both.

      It is not too hard to check, to be 100% certain.

      Here was the website I was looking for. Explains & shows the difference between all of the Control Arms.
