Rear Strut Rod Bushings? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

AKA lower control arm, are the bushings the same end to end on the rod or are they different? Need to know, ordering new ones. Apparently 84-87 differs from 88-95, just don't know which is which.
Thanks

Never mind, I figured it out. For those of you who are replacing bushings, the rear strut rods on the early cars had like sized ends. Our Z's (and all other vettes) 90' and up had the rods with the dissimilar ends.

I figure while I'm changing the pumpkin to the new 4.10, I'll replace all the rear suspension bushings. I decided to go with the Polygraphite bushings from Performance Suspension Technology. Graphite impregnated into the bushing material and they make separate front and rear kits.

Also putting in C-Beam plates.
