You might want to check into getting a whole new suspension kit. If the lower A-arm bushings are bad, chances are the rest of the suspension bushings and various parts are not real good either. Many places sell whole kits which I highly recomend. Usually the kits are less than $1000. I replaced several pieces at a time on one car. By the time I was done, it would have been cheaper and easier to replace the whole thing. On the second car I bought the whole kit. Worked great and it was all done at once.

One more thing, on the 65-66 mustangs, if you remove the upper A-arm be sure to save the shims between the A-arm and the mount. These shims are what are used to align the car and if you remove them you allignment will be off.

Maybe in the short run it would be better to have someone else replace the lower bushings, but if you want to do your own work on these cars, the suspension rebuild looks complex but is pretty straight forward.
