    360' are at least a decade old now and I was wondering if people have addressed the suspensions wear items.

    I dont track my car but I do drive it a lot. I dont feel any handling deficiency but I cant be sure without comparing to new.

    Thoughts?

    yes, quite a bit of front end work on my car.

    Also replaced all the shock bushings, front and rear.

    This year its steering gear work, but my 360 has 60,000+ miles on it.

    You mind sharing your experience. What parts, sourced where, and results.

    The only thing I have with mine is the steering has kick back when you hit the unavoidable pot hole.

    not sure where my dealer got the shock bushings, I assume Ferrari. The upper/lower ball joints were Hill from Ricambi. That solved most of my problems on the suspension. When I drove the car before it sounded like a bucket of loose bolts in the front end. I now have a "knock" in the front end over smallish bumps, weird that bigger bumps dont cause any noise. My shop said its either a worn part in the steering gear or the tie rod where it connects to the steering. They could not identify at the time without more work and I took the car since I had a 2 hour drive to get home, any longer and i would have been stuck in rush hour and it would have been a 3+ hour drive. They will get into it early this summer when they do the clutch on the car.

    Have you checked the front anti roll bar bushes and links? They're easy to check.
