Need bushing Upgrade
|
|
After the gear and differential change, the Firebird had developed very bad wheel hop. After a lot of research, I decided to replace these soft compliant bushings with Moog solid rubber bushings. That completely eliminated wheel hop on hard acceleration. The car also tracks much better on rough or washboard road surfaces, and expansion joints in the highway don't make the car shimmy.
Interesting to note that the original bushings that came out were not worn or damaged and only had about 35,000 miles on them. They were just too soft for the gear change. Solid rubber in the original control arms is the way to go with a street car.
I avoided poly bushings and boxed control arms due to suspension bind, stress cracks in the axle mounts, and cold flow problems with the poly material. The Moog bushings are hard rubber and eliminate problems introduced by poly bushings.
