Hi Guys,
I've disassembled the rear of the bumblebee and the control arm pivots and bushings look to be in good shape. My plan was to blast and powdercoat the control arms, which would require removing the pivots/bushings (due to the heat)...but I hear re-installing these can be a beeotch. And I generally prefer keeping as much OEM as possible. So...do you think it's worth leaving the bushings and pivots alone and just painitng the arms? I'm aiming for this bumblebee to be a solid #2 car when done. Thoughts? Thanks! |

I got the rear bushing kit from Elephant Racing. First one took about 45 minutes and the second one was about 10 minutes. Was easier with a heavy duty bar clamp than my press
