Default New suspension coming up!

This Sunday and Monday I am going to refurbish my entire suspension.

I have all new Moog balljoints and front inner and outer tie rods. Rear gm inner and outer tierods as well as all the control arm bushings in poly. I also have all new hardware for the bushings, got the zip corvette kit.

To finish it off I will be installing Viking coilovers as well.

Subscribing for updates. I did all the same recently except for the control arm bushings. I have the poly bushings and a full set of extra control arms, curious how you remove the OEM rubber bushings from the control arms.
