upper ball joints-89
I am in the process of "renovating" a 1989, 6 speed convertible, my dream car, my wifes nightmare.
I have a couple of questions, do I need to re-use the spacer looking thing on top of the upper ball joint, the kit from ECKLERS did not come with a replacement, and when replacing stock bushings with energy suspension pieces, do I remove the rubber and leave the metal sleeve intact or remove that also?
Thanks.
I need all the help I can get, first time Vette owner.

Others can probably help you without looking at some pictures, but If you can post some pictures, that may help.
As far as the bushings go, I'm pretty sure you have to use the existing sleeves if your kit didn't come with new ones.
