I need help, Im going to fab up my upper control arm mounts for the axle side but I cannot figure out which bushing to get... I went to autozone today to check out the part listed as " upper control arm bushing" wellllll that being said OK but is that for the frame end or the axle end?... also what was the procedure for replacing em I was anticipating buying some DOM of the size that the bushing will fitt into and going from there... any fab advice is needed PLEASE!!!
They are the same bushings. So yes it will work.
The best method for removing the old bushings is to use a Large C-clamp w/large sockets and odd exhaust pipe pieces or a Ball joint removal kit that can be rented at AutoZone for $20.00

They are the same bushing. However they are tapered. If you are fabbing, you can use almost anything. If you are doing a three link, the upper bushings are not tough enough. You would be better off using a lower bushing, they are much stronger and will last.
well after talking with a buggy guru I was pals with in houston Im gonna do a three link using heims on both ends and have the third link centered on the axle!
sounds like a great idea. I was going to suggest Johnny joints.
