Re: Front G Body Suspension Question??? UPDATE}}} I DID IT!!

Lookin sweet!! Congrats! You got her done, saved some loot and learned somethin. But bruh..I'd redo the entire suspension before wheels. You are lookin really clean with the setup you have for now. Just my .02. I'll be riding on stocks until I get off my lazy butt and drop in my front springs, upper/lower control arms with new ball joints and bushings and rear upgrades. You think its smooth now. Replace those parts and you will REALLY feel a difference....

That orange looks clean too..

Re: Front G Body Suspension Question???

unless any of you end links were broken or had completely wrecked bushings, dont think it will make any huge difference but you might feel some

Going from stock rubber bushings to poly bushings on the sway bar will make a big difference!

Just have to make sure you torque the bolts down once the car is back on the ground.

Yes it does make a difference, Thanks for the info about tighting the bolt's when on ground, didnt know that....thanks to everyone..

Re: Front G Body Suspension Question???

I DID IT, IT WAS SO EASY TO DO,,,,THANKS GUYS...RUNS GREAT!!!

looks awesome how much did it cost you?? and how much of an improvement has it been

19.99 sway bar links
18.99 sway bar bushings
5.69 emarel heat orange paint..

about $50.00 total....All i can say is that it feels good and smoother ride...

What was the part number for the link kit? I bought some and they dont seem to fit as well as yours do. Maybe I have the wrong parts/thanks! Looks good!

Re: Front G Body Suspension Question??? UPDATE}}} I DID IT!!

Was Bought at Autozone but you can probley find it at your local O'Riely store


SWAY BAR BUSHING : PART # (9.5161R)

SWAY BAR LINKS : PART # (9.8149R )

Note: Its best to measure your sway bar to make sure you have the right dimentions...I just took the parts with me and mesaured while I was there, and got the perfect fit....But its a real easy job to do, and not expensive, Handles good, But just remember how the sway bar comes off and where the bushing go after you take them off...I had that problem, i didnt remember how it went back on...lol

You see that? You just helped us all out! Thanks fam! I needed those part numbers. Saved me a ton of time dealing with the chick up at Autozone who doesnt know how to find em in the system... I'm painting my stock Monte front and rear swaybar parts and I need new bushings and stuff. Off to the Zone I go with the part numbers in hand. Thanks again fam! I hear you on the parts. I try to keep spares and clean em up and have them ready to go when I need em. When I redo the El's suspension, all the old parts will be cleaned up, new bushings, ball joints and put up on the shelf for future projects. When you get the loot together for the wheels, resist!! Put that loot into the suspension first! I see it all the time out here. Bro's are spueekin and squalin'. I was one of em but my ride was purchased with the Rocs on it. Glad to see you are workin on her yourself. Some stuff we newbs gotta have shops do, but the lil stuff like this saves a ton...

Keep up the clean work bruh! Ive had a baaad migraine the whole weekend but you got me inspired to do somethin. LOL! 3 tylonols and Im wrenchin'
