I am having all mine replaced when I get it painted.
The body guy said some of the bushing are very hard to get at and you wind up replacing other stuff as well.

mmm, yea thats seems about right, once you start changing stuff other stuff starts breaking too I think ill just change out the shocks, and leave the bushings for another time. Thanks!

I replaced all the bushings in my 69 Camaro with the urethane and it rides stiffer now, but you have to keep the bushings lubed or they will squeak on you when the get dried out. [8D]
