THANKS!..just seems that the bolts keep compressing the rubber and seem hard to imagine even getting that tight. These are the bolts that go into the cross shafts right where the control arm bushings are.

VINTAGEMUSCLE....ever check out the local corvette site www.peachstateposse.com since you are in Canton?
