1979 3/4 drop with new bushings, what kind? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chrismoore701 · 09-21-2008, 08:32 PM

I am starting on my 1979 step side sport and plan to drop it 3 in front and 4 in back. I plan to use belltech spindles and rear shackles in back, but what about new rubber up front? I would like to replace all the bushings with urethane. Do you guys have any recommendations who to go with. I thought I found a place in Arizona a few years ago that had good stuff, but that was a few years ago. I need some tips. Just cleaned the frame today. This way worked pretty good to get the bottom. Engine Bright and pressure sprayer hooked up to the hot water

honestly, put rubber back in... unless you like squeaks... even the ones that arnt suposed to squeak with the grease fittings...still squeak lol... sure does handle nice tho.

I swear ppl are confused about bushings. There is a difference between polyeurthane and polygraphite. Polygraphite does not squeak, polyeutherane does. I have a PST polygraphite kit in my 73, no squeaks and no problesm.
