The BelAir needed to have the exhaust manifolds changed out and new exhaust installed, so I took her to the shop today !!! The exhaust installation went just fine, but what we found, when she was up on the lift, made me sick to my stomach !!!
I can't even imagine what would have or at least could have happened, if we had not discovered this problem, prior to heading out on a 400 mile trip this weekend. The lower control arm bushing was completely missing the rubber bushing and the inner sleeve was almost completely out of the arm. Thank God, that we did not have a tragic accident and harm someone or ourselves.
Here are a couple of pictures:
