'69 B Body Front Suspension- stripping lower control arms

Hi,
Trying to get my feeble Ford and GM brain around Mopar suspension.

Front suspension and torsion bars now stripped out of the RoadRunner.

Question about the lower control arm- Does the shaft bolting the arm to the K member, drive out towards the front of the car from the torsion bar side?

Also, should the bush in the lower control arm be pressed out and changed? I cannot see a replacement listed on the Superflex site:

Are they left in place or do I need to order from someone else?

Thanks
Eddie

also special thanks to Turnip who's upper ball joint socket worked wonders. I owe you.

Just remember to slap loads of assembly grease on the shafts, bushes etc.
Any skimping on that now will make noisy suspension later ;)
