Default Re: Under the index for under a grand!

Cheapo tips 1

I'm sure Billy knows this one, but on those old trailing arm cars, the rubber bushings get very gushy and weak after a while... Rather than making or buying something, just take a batch of 1" drywall screws and your battery drill, and run them into the rubber , 6-8 in each bushing, both sides ..Instant firmness!

2, Those A, later G bodies had a factory anti roll , or sway bar on the Monte's ,GN 's and even Malibu police cars. When you install the proper sleeves, bolts and bar, you stiffen up the lower trailing arm in the process. The holes are already there.
