I posted on here a couple weeks ago about the rear of my vette kicks to the side under power.Well i checked the bushings in the rear and i dont see anything that just sticks out like it might be the problem. But with the mileage on the car i think it would be a good idea to change them all anyways. My question is is it just easier to just drop the whole rearend out and do this or is this the only way to do it? After pulling the exhaust off it dosent look like it will be all that bad.

Second question has to do with the front calipers. I had the front of the car jacked up and i was spinning the tires. I noticed that the calipers moved back in forth. Ive never had a car that they moved on. My question is should they move ?

 

Might be a good idea to replace everything, but have it checked/aligned by someone that knows what they are doing. I had that done when I picked up mine about six months ago and it made a noticeable different in how it tracked on the highway and under acceleration.

 

1st, replace trailing arm bushings and lower strut arm bushings. The differential mounts very rarely have problems. If your calipers are moving while rotating wheels, then more than likely your rotors are warped.

 

Anyone ever use energy suspension ? I see they have a kit that does everything front and rear for $176.

 

Are they poly, or rubber?

On any regular vehicle, I'd always go with poly. But with tight-strung suspensions, like vettes, rubber probably will make for a better ride, with better vibration and sound damping.

 

was up, mech. is on it,check out the rear-trailing arms first. i just did mine and i really didn't know how bad they were. the energy bushs i ran were poly. same ride.
