Rebuilding Chevy Nova Control Arms 

I really should be in the garage working on my Nova but watching you while drinking a cup of coffee just seems right this morning. Thanks for the info.

I was wondering where have you been 😆👍🏼 good videos thanks for the information

Ok now. Im gonna be straight with you. I sub'd a while back when I inherited a 1970 Nova SS.. Im repairing or replacing everything as I go. This weekend was control arm bushing time. I watched this video and had a few thoughts. Everything you do looks pretty easy. Because your good at it ! I watched you struggle a bit with air chisel and getting the control arm bushings out. I thought, finally something he is having some trouble with ? I conceded after finally getting 1 pair out. Damn thats a tricky job at home. New set of control arms coming from part store, already set up with bushings and ball joints. Again, I take my hat off to you. Im learning from your channel constantly !! THANKS

First time I changed out the upper bushings on my Nova..went primitive with a hammer. Hammered all day. Neighbor's dog , always friendly, wanted to tear me apart.

Great video......remember Health first my friend........Brett

Ill say a prayer for your bp. Sounds like you are getting it under control though. Great video.

Glade u feeling better buddy

Good work so far man. Keep posting, really enjoying the project.

I'm building a 74 nova and your videos have been helpful. Great content

Excellent John!

Great work like always my friend…. I actually just did the same thing to my s10 blazer a few days ago. For some reason you make it look easier.Keep up the great videos big shout out to you from Mexico bud.

Glad you’re back making videos 👍🏻 keep them coming!!! I’ll be doing this soon

Man you made that look easy all things considered! I definitely need an air chisel and ball joint tool! Keep digging man.

Good video John this will help me as i go to replace mine as well

I've been putting off rebuilding the front suspension. Ball joints i dread, i need the v8 version springs in the front too so the car isn't so low, i still have the inline 6 springs in. I also am considering getting a hevay duty sway bar as well, but i know i need to redo the suspension first probably

Thanks for sharing this! I have all these parts for my Nova, I just need to get out there and do it...lol! I just got out the hospital last week with extremely high blood pressure. I see a cardiologist next week. Take care! ✌️

I'm glad that you're feeling better. The Turkey Rod Run is about 1/2 the cars missing. This Covid crap has to end!

Great job!

Always looks much easier when you cut out all the swearing and throwing wrenches !! Lmao. Glad you’re doing good John ! Take care my friend

Good information 👍

Excellent tutorial but man you need a good solid table and a vice to hold your parts in the worst way would have made your repair go so much smoother

kinda painful to watch you work on that rickety little table. i hope you have a solid workbench with a vice on it. it would be so much easier with that arm clamped in a vice... but i do enjoy your videos a lot and appreciate the knowledge you share about novas. I've gotten bored with Chevelles and am gonna build a 74 Nova for 1/8 mile drags.

The problem is, is people get stuck in the one track mindset and the corporations take advantage of us, then we raise the price and take advantage of each other. All we have to do is keep the car factories pumping out new hotrod cars so we can keep the cost down. Get it? Got it? GOOD.

Little bit off topic but, can you create a video how to do a front and rear bumper tuck for a 73 Nova? Much appreciated.

Awesome videos! On the poly bushings I've been told you need to keep re-greasing (install grease gitting if possible). On control arms is this true? I've got a 74 only had poly on the sway bar (no sqeaks) and leafs (squeaky but i got over it).

👍🇨🇦 Are you doing anything to help upgrade the stock arms….like welding some strength in?

I would love to have you build one for me. What’s the average price?

If you weren't filming that, the bushings would have fell out

Hey quick question. Can u install the upper control arm bump stops while in car? Thanks sir

You need a press?

Would you be willing to sell a roof frame and all? I’m in NC

Wow, really youtube, deleting comments now. Now that's going a little too far on mind control. That's ok brother, I know how obviously governmentally manipulated the youtube company is. Thanks for the reply. God bless.

May I ask why you deleted my comments?

Just buy new a arms with everything already installed. I've tried this with a press and everything nothing works. The a arms just collapsed wasted two days removing and trying to install the new $70 set of bushings. If you can't afford new a arms just sell your car. I removed and installed my engine, trans and rear end by myself without any issues, these aren't like that, nothing will work unless your lucky as hell.

That work table is a joke,pain ful to watch
