While you're in there, take a look at your bearing cap. Looks rusty.

I'm about to buy some of the QA 1 shocks. If you don't mind me asking, which ones did you get and where did you get them? I know they make several grades of them but I don't see the necessity of getting above the street grade. Were there any installation issues?

I got the corvette stocker stars. Real sweet, 12 way adjustable. got them from jegs. the only install issue I had was I needed to buy some washers to space the bottom mount as the sleeve inside the bushing is shorter than the stock shocks. Other than that it was a simple swap, cant wait to try them out.
