    Since we didn't sell our 365 in Monterey I have decided to pull all the suspension and install new bushings. The rest of the underside is so tight it will really complete the package I think. We did the brakes, so we're all set there. I also want to send the 3 wing spinners out for re-chroming, any suggestions?

    Pitt-falls to avoid on the suspension job?

    Do not press the outer bushings out of the forged arms. They are hard to get out, difficult to find, expensive and don't need replaced. I am speaking from experience. :)

    I was informed that the superformance bearings where manufactured by HE.
    Superformance have just become Hill distributor also so would ring true...

    The next job on my car is the suspension - there are a couple of strange "clunks" every now and then. A selection of new bushes will certainly be needed, so I'll watch this thread with interest. And I'll be in touch with Superformance.

    Has a bushing set. I have not used them but I hear they are ok. About $500
