control arm bushings

In all the reference I've seen, I've always seen "lower control arm bushing". Never seen "upper" arm bushings mentioned anywhere. Are there upper arms? If there are no upper arms, why make the comparison? I will need to replace my control arm bushing soon and it would be nice to ...
