Subject: Re: I am in trouble with rear polys by iCorvette on 2010/12/20 2:12:47 I have to correct my comment, I had to remove the bar bushings.... for one... the offset-to-the-rear holes, thats drill into the bushings, while in the correct position, was all the way to the edge of the bracket (stock). The bracket, is formed by factory stamping and has a supportive curvature; keeping the bushing from skirming out, unlike the rears where the aftermarket bushing has a ridge that straddles the strap. Well the bar rubbed on both sides equally, on the inside edge wearing the bar, an I think, immaterial amount. To correct this I filed/clearanced ( yet again, me and my files with no handles)a scallop/scoop to accommodate the curvature of the bar,spritzed with paint. the bar moved back a tad, thinking it was "pushed" forward a minute amount by the metal I had removed. "Bind"? I struggled with getting the end links to line up, and was in fear the big bar would not fit within the confines of the rear radiator fan housing and my modded Z51 power-steering cooler,, as a trans cooler is stacked in front of the true steering cooler. This was my initial concern, after the lower bar poly busing swap. as it shoved the bar forward and kissed or rather dry "F" d the fan housing. I started to panic a little and got a grip on things, it could have been worse, it could have been raining. This was with one side up, with no recourse, I raised the other side and finished everything up without any further concerns, Remarkably, the links were in perfect 0 degrees, everything lined up and, the truth be told, allowed me to regain the stiffness I had and appreciated with the dry binding bushings I had going in under-lubed for a 2 year period, without the squeaks and continuous suspension altering bind. And frankly, my wanting front polys is just that want, who needs?
