Yes I replaced pins and bushings friont and rear. I also replaced the shackles on the front. The front end rear spring mount bushings were really tough. I was afraid the rear springs would be hard but they came right apart. The shop manual says to use a slide hammer to remove the pins; but I used a brass drift and drove them inwards. I'm glad I replaced everything it really snugged up the suspension... I also replaced a couple of broken leaf springs..
