These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

        5 hours if you really bust your ass and know what you are doing.

        it's basically as labor intensive as a front suspension overhaul and brake job. you have to take apart the front suspension for the coil isolaters and strut bushings, the control arms may need to be taken out depending if you have a bushing C clamp tool with the proper fitting(s).

        use lots of lube!

            It took me about 10 hours working practically working non stop. It's a pain in the butt. But definitely worth it. Fire helps remove the rubber inserts on the lower control arm. Then I used an air chisel to remove the metal sleeve that's still in the bore.

                cpmike has it done to his car. His suspension is otherwise inferior to mine, but everyone raves about how his car handles. It's all due to the bushings.
