Lower A Arm Bushing Oval 70-72 Chevelle

The Lower A Arm Bushing Oval for 70-72 Chevelle is a critical suspension component engineered for street and strip applications where suspension compliance and control matter equally. If you're rebuilding the front end of a second-generation Chevelle—whether for resto-mod duty, weekend cruising, or light performance work—worn or missing bushings translate directly to vague steering, uneven tire wear, and compromised geometry under load. HOWE manufactures this bushing to restore the connection between lower control arm and chassis, eliminating play that accumulates over decades.

This oval-profile bushing design matches the original geometry and mounting points specific to 1970–1972 Chevelle models, ensuring drop-in fitment without modification. The oval shape distributes stress across the arm's pivot axis more effectively than round alternatives, reducing deflection during cornering and braking events. At 1.54 pounds and compact dimensions (2.4 x 1.6 x 6.6 inches), the bushing integrates seamlessly into existing suspension hardware while offering the durometer and material composition needed to handle both daily driving and spirited use without premature degradation.

Mechanics and enthusiasts performing A-arm overhauls on first- or second-gen Chevelles should stock this part as a core replacement item; original rubber compounds harden and compress with age, making new bushings non-negotiable for a properly tuned front suspension. Whether you're addressing a full frame-off restoration or tackling steering looseness on a driver-quality machine, HOWE's MPN 22900 delivers the dimensional accuracy and material quality expected from an OEM-correct suspension rebuild. Installation requires basic hand tools and modest mechanical skill—press the old bushing out and the new one in, torque the control arm pivot bolt to spec, and verify alignment afterward.
