Suspension Questions

[IH2LOSE]

Well I am back to visit you guys.As I had posted earlyer I am building Hybrid car (a 61/62 vette using a C4 suspention)Well I just got my front A arms and was just wondering how do you replace the lower ball joints? and also the top ball joints are riveted in are the new ones a bolt on replacement instead of rivets?

And then lastley I am looking for a set of replacement urethane bushing where do you guys get your parts from.

Thanks Again Larry

Larry,I'll give this a try.Haven't done this myself but, to replace the lower ball joints you need to press them in, I'm told you can get the press from Autozone if you buy their balljoints,or find a good shop with a press. Uppers need to be drilled out then new ones replaced with bolts. Shop around for poly bushings, I just got a set for the rear control arms from Corvette Central and spent WAY TO MUCH, so check some other suppliers.Good Luck

Have the lowers done by someone else unless you've got a strong constitution. It's a total BIT*H Pay a few bucks and keep your parts lookin' perty
