I don't know what this part is called, yes i'm new, and I figured that the fact that they are all dried out and cracked couldn't be good. I am talking about the 2 rubber rings on each side.

1) What are these things called?

2) How much would it cost to replace them?

3)Is it possible to do it yourself?

Leaf spring bolts/cushions

2) How much would it cost to replace them?

Less than 30 bucks, all the vendors have them

3)Is it possible to do it yourself?

Yes, very easy assuming you have some jack stands and tools.

1) What are these things called? Spring mount bushings

2) How much would it cost to replace them? Inexpensive. Any corvette parts magazine has them.

3)Is it possible to do it yourself? Easy to replace. By the looks of those I would just support the spring (follow a repair manual) and cut them in half to remove. Then replace the bushings, bolts and cups.
