Default 1980 rear diff mount bushing
How hard is it to change the rear upper mount bushings{mustache bar} on a 80 vette after removal of the suspension. Is rubber still available or urathane only choice. Dave

Dave, I would say yes to having both rubber and poly. It's a dirty job but doable in the garage. Poly w/ tyhe correct lube would be my chose

I had to take ouy my driveshaft(with a 24" extension and 1/4" drive sockets) then installing the bushing was easy

It is a pretty good chore collapsing the steel sleeve on the original to remove it. Once it is out it is smooth sailing though.
