Suspension Q's
I'm getting ready to replace teh bushings(rear control arms,panhard bar) and put new rear springs in. Anybody got any good tips and hints to make the job easier. I dont have access to a lift so I/ll be doing it in the driveway. Its a 71 lwb 1/2 thanks.

have got mine stripped down to do this yet, but some things I saw..
1.) put pushings etc in the freezer for a while.. makes the a bit smaller so go in easier.. 2.) if using poly parts DONT grease them up to make them go in.. use the recommended lubricant.. (Silicon I believe).. otherwise you will get squeaks.. 3.) Plan on it taking longer than you would think =p....
