Default Electronic shock bushing repack?

Howdy C-Vette compadres,

I own a 2001 C5 Base Convertible with under 40,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle a year and a half ago.

The vehicle has the electronic adjustable shock option. One of the shock bushings degraded.

My mechanic (independent, though worked as a GM certified line mechanic some years ago) says the shock bushings can NOT be replaced - that a new shock is required.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your help

I have read on CF that the CPU/ECU/elec. shock input (?) can be disabled and conventional shocks installed, so i guess that's the program.

Thanks
