Default Z06 Shock Install Question

Hey guys, I am a mechanictard, and this is my first attempt at a mod. I have only change oil on a car. In fact, I just purchased my first set of tools yesterday, so bare with me. I tried doing a search for this answer, but came up empty handed. I am replacing my FE1 shocks with Z06 shocks. When I remove the FE1 shocks, do I reuse the rubber bushings by placing them on the Z06 shock, or do I need to get new rubber bushings. One of the used Z06 shocks is missing one of the rubber bushings and I don't know if using FE1 bushings would make a difference. Thanks for your help. :crazy:

All the rubber bushings between the two are the same, so you'll be fine reusing them on the Z06 shocks. :cheers:

Hey 97C5ENVY,
Thanks for your response. Its funny that you were the one to respond, because the directions I am using are the ones that you sent to me about a year and a half ago (I am a procastinator). They are working out fine by the way. I'll post how things work out. Take care! :lol:
