Just a few basic questions:
1) Do the rubber bushings I circled need to be changed? None are cracked or damaged, but are they just spacers or do they affect how tightly the car handles? 2) Plan on replacing shocks with Bilstein shocks. Can I reuse the top hardware shown or must I acquire new parts? If so, where would one purchase said parts? 3) Is there a recommendation for a rear trailing arm rebuilder in the San Diego area? I need new rubber bushings, new bearings, and my hubs pressed back in. I know many do it themselves, but after reading some of the recent posts I'm a bit intimidated.

I have the hard ones with the SS shaft in my car and they are ok but the Rubber ones we are making now will be like factory. We took over another unit and are working on getting it set up but we will have thai soon. I will follow up with Mark and see where we are at on them and report back.
