My knuckles vs. upgrading the suspension on the Gutlass


Recommended Posts

OK. Here's the deal. There's a boneyard near me that has several 88-96 W-Bodies. I'm gonna snag the 94+ F/R brakes off a 95 GP, and a front sway bar off a base Cutlass(smaller bar) that's there. My Cutlass already has the FE3 suspension I'm seriously considering the front springs(softer) off the base Cutlass as well.

 

Now here's the tricky part. There's a poly bushing set for my car, for IIRC around 200 bones. I'm already going to have most of the front & rear suspension apart, with the exception of the forward trailing links in the rear, as well as the inner pivots on the lateral suspension arms, and the front A-Arms.

 

If it were your decision, would you go ahead and get the poly bushings, and make it a longer project(possibly having the car apart for the whole weekend) or just wait til' the L67 swap, when the front end will be totally apart to get at the lower A-Arms.?

wait for the L67 swap, it will be SO much easier to do if you have your engine removed.
