hardcore Member 92 Member For: 17y 25d Gender: Male Posted 09/08/11 10:52 PM Author Share Posted 09/08/11 10:52 PM Should I be replacing bushes or anything at the same time while I got the leafs out? Going to give it a shot next weekend I have free. Anything else I may need to replace? I have been told in another thread I may need new shocks.

I have been told in another thread I may need new shocks.You might as well replace the eight bushes while you're at it, ie shackle bushes. All eight are the same.
