Strut rod bushings

did you have the lower control arms out when you replaced the 1 pc bushing?
Yes the LCA's were out. They need to be moved back to remove the strut rod, which must be removed from the K frame to change the bushing. Torsion bars were also out. My front end is completely apart. I am installing all new parts with tubular uppers for increased caster. Due to header clearance, the left side had to have the strut rod loosely through the K frame bushing first, then the LCA installed. The right side strut was installed on the LCA first and went right in. Everything is only installed finger tight at first. The strut rear nut needs to be torqued to value before the front is torqued. Torsion bar install is today. I have 1.03 bars from PST and they are last item to check for clearance with everything. Fingers crossed. 440 big block K frame with Schumacher Tri-Y's and 727 console shift. I still have the original power steering box and starter and everything is clearing so far.
