Question Suspension Bushings........

1993 Z-28, 100,000 miles, stock, A/T, no tops. Need to know what you folks would recommend for replacement of factory rubber suspension bushings. The rear-end feels kinda loose under the car, makes noises like bushings might be failing, and sends a vibration of sorts through the bottom of the car. Also front end needs bushing replacement just because of age.

In addition when jacking up the front-end of the car recently for an oil change I noticed that the left front "vibration" rubber body mount at the frame attach point had split and was pulled apart. Are there replacements for those too and are they hard to replace?????

All in all, I just want to tighten up the cars suspension, quiet it down, and thought that there might be a few areas or products to focus on.

Thanks for your help, as always.

Jeff

Buy the Energy Suspension bushing kit. It'll give you plenty to do in your spare time, and isn't one of those things that takes tons of down time if you don't want it to. You can do it in phases. Definitely pays off in the end.

The Energy Suspension bushing kits will definately tighten up your suspension, but be aware that it will make the cabin noise alot louder. Poly bushings are much harder and will transfer alot of road noise to the cockpit.
