Today I replaced my front hubs, all four shocks and one lower ball joint. My baby rides so good now. Her christmas came a little early.

Interesting. What was the cost and difficulty of this?

Are you a professional wrench?

Good job, a little time & some $ makes a world of diff. These are easy jobs you don't have to be a pro, just be able to turn a wrench. Good to here about somebody working on their Vette, makes you love her!

kyb shocks 24.39 each front 33.49 each rear

front hubs 106.00 each firebird hubs. drilled the holes.

ball joint 67.99

labor ... free, I fix cars for a living. Took about 2 hours total. Getting the old balljoint out was a little tough.
