during a downtown oil change i was inspecting the bottom of my car(a rare treat for me) and notice a little slack in the drivers side wheel.. apparently from the upper a frame bushings...(.visual inspection affirmed the location of the movement..)
is this another corvette nightmare for me to get ready for or can it be straight forward bushing replacement.?
 
I would suggest that if one is worn then the rest may not be far behind.
Most replace / upgrade to the poly bushes.
The poly bushes are easier to install than the factory rubber ones

Currently options are polybushings.. or replacement A-arms....one of the corvette suppliers had a bunch of NOS A-arms for cheap a while back.

I went with energy suspension poly bushings a few years back. The factory bushings were still good (car was low mileage) however, I did not want the play rubber bushings have (I drive FAST)


I just took out some of the poly bushings from my rear suspension and upgraded to

Notice that the new trailing arms have metal spherical rod ends and the old has poly bushings
