A-arm rebuild
Well since I'm keeping my Corvette I decided that I will make it as good a driver as possible and since I don't know when was the last time the A-arms were rebuilt I decided to change the bushings and so on. I just want to know from your experience if changing all the bushings will do the job together with installing a spreader bar? Or do I have to change all the ball joints with it?
I decided to go that way because I noticed that despite everything the car still pulls to the left when I brake hard and the bushings are not that big of an investment.
I would gladly go for the shark bite suspension but don't have the finance yet and the shipping to Europe would be high. Maybe when I get back from my deployment.

..and, once you pull the A-arms off to replace the bushings there's no point in reinstalling them without new ball joints.
