i have a tubular upper control arm for an 89 mustang. i took off the bronze nuts on each end but i am not sure what the best method is to remove the control arm shaft. the shaft turns freely by hand. any help would be appreciated. thank you.

The bushings have to be pressed out the remove the shaft from the control arm.

That's funny. The foxes didn't have a control arm shafts in the lower control arms. The lower control arm has two bolts with nuts that slide through the frame and the bushings on the control arms to hold it in place. Doesn't have an upper because the fox uses front struts. I have one sitting in the garage as I type this.

Must have some sort of front end modification done on it.

If he stated upper, then his must be really special because that fox doesn't use upper control arms.
