[Chevelle-list] Tension from springs on upper front control arms?

[Randy S Johnson]

The spring pushes the lower A-arm down from your frame and if your spindal 
is still attached between your upper and lower A-arms it will also be 
pulling down on your upper arm arm.  I just removed my uppers two nights 
ago.  I had the spinal off the car already however and springs removed.  I 
think it would be a real trick to remove the upper arm with the spring 
still on.
Please anyone correct me if I am wrong as I am a rookie at this game.
PS~Anyone know of a good place to get a passenger side steering knuckle? I 
found out mine is badly damaged while taking the A-arms off.

Thank You,

Hi!
 
Is there any tension from the springs on the upper "a-arms" ?
i.e. can I remove them without removing the springs?
As far as I can see all tension/weight is on the lower control arm?
 
I need to change the bushings :-/
