Default 1985 Corvette Completed front and rear bushing replacement

I have started to replace all suspension bushings on my C4.

I utilized [U]http://tech.corvettecentral.com/2014...g-installation as a reference.

This job is well worth it and is a piece of cake to do! make sure you jack it up the proper way and jack stands in the right places!

I have completed the left rear with no issues (2 hours). While I was in there I replaced the u joints on the half shafts, shocks, and the hub/bearings. like I said no surprises yet!

Only basic tools required and a vice

Next Job is antenna rebuild!

New Stock exhaust also
