I have a 70 chevelle and want to rebuild the suspension. The problem is that I hear that some chevelle used and oval bushings and some use round. What year did this change and where exactly was it used. I read that the lower control arm is where they are and one site mentioned the rear arms by the rear end. It looks around 1970 they changed it. This is my first Chevelle. From now on I will stick with my Camaros and Novas.
