Help wanted…
Would you say these are dead? I’m making a list of my next upgrade/fix and just wanted to check by pictures would you say these a arm bushings are dead?

I would replace them if it were my car. I would also replace the ball joints while the arms are out of the car.
An extra nice touch would be to clean them and paint or powder coat the control arms.

It’s a bit of work to replace all that.. i would make sure your components are good rubber and nothing manufactured in china. Most should be usa /mexico .
make sure you final tighten on ground

Well… I’ve ordered from corvette america so… I know it’s not a guarantee, but as I live half a globe away I need to buy in kits, otherwise shipping would kill me. I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

BTW: Before I order from a new vendor, I use the Transaction feedback forum. Type in the vendor and read the reviews.
