    Hello All
    I am currently rebuilding the front suspension on my 69 GS 400 and converting from drum to disc brakes.
    I have two questions:
    The lower control arms have the round bushings, everything crossing to Moog is the bushings that one is round the other is oval. I think I need Moog K6076 but am not sure?
    When I removed the coil springs, the spring on the driver side the flat part of the spring was up in the upper control arm, when I removed the other side the flat was in the bottom control arm..Which way is correct or does it not matter.
    Thank you in advance

    Try the bushings for a Chevelle. They are listed with round bushings in the Moog catalog. The flat part of the spring goes to the top and the pigtail end fits into a recess area in the lower control arm.

    Yes - You need Moog K-6076 - Large/Small Round Bushing Set - Will need 2

    If looking for NOS GM - Large - #392826 (Harris 62585) and a Small #391016 (Harris 62283) 2 of each.

    Dave, Terry Thank you for the information very helpful
    Why the difference between the round and the oval bushings, anything special? Most parts stores big box or online never cross over to the all round bushings for the GS.
    Thanks Again!
