Upper Control Arm Bushing Fell Out?

[CoryM]

What you do is leave the balljoint nut loose, but still threaded on the balljoint. Then you lower your jack under the control arm. Keep your fingers clear as the balljoint may loosen at any point and bang the spindle down onto the nut HARD. If you dont leave the nut there, your spring will slam down the lower control arm and possibly bounce out which is pretty dangerous. If it doesnt free up by itself you have to hit the spindle where the balljoint goes into it. You hit it from the side so that when you hit it, the oval hole that holds the balljoint in distorts slightly. It should release like that. Then you jack up the lower control arm until the nut is loose again then remove the upper A-arm. Leave the jack there until the job is done. If you are leaving it for a while, stick a stand or wood under the A-arm in case the jack settles.
Clear as mud??
