As usual! I started out to replace the tie rod ends. And ended up replacing the entire suspension under the car. All new Pfadt Poly bushings, New Zip bump steer tie rod ends and rear tie rods and ends, New style Pfadt single adjustable shocks, New Pfadt ball joints,Pfadt camber kit, New rear wheel bearing SKF (fronts were done last year) I should have just bought a new car!! LOL! It certainly would have been easier. It was a big project, but I learned a lot and I should not have to mess with suspension for a while. One thing I need to do is thank some forum members and vendors for there help and threads detailing some HOW TO's they were a big help. Thanks to C6RAPTOR, STEVENSA, BAGS142 there treads were invaluable. also Pfadt Racing (Jarrett, Arron, and Robin), Zip Corvette Parts.

Looking good. How does the car handle now with all the suspension upgrades?

I came across this thread doing a search for bushings....

Pfadt Racing

Do you plan on wrapping the ball joints with metal/heat refecting tape or will you need to?

JDIllon

ZIP says it is not it's not needed. So I'm going to run them and see. JD

the reflective nature of the heims should be sufficient, since most damage to OEM rod ends is due to "radiant" heat, not conduction/convection. Cheap reflective tape (even duct tape) is enough to deflect radiant heat, and these are already "shiny"

JDIllon

Dave, did you run them bare? or did you put reflective tape on them?? JD
