It’s true, handling characteristics on many classic cars pales in comparison to their modern day counterparts. Age-hardened rubber bushings and rusted components can reduce our ride performance while adding countless squeaks and rattles to our suspension system. Replacing or upgrading the bushings is a surefire way to improve your classic’s ride and stability while cornering.
Follow along as Mark Simpson evaluates, removes and replaces the front sway bar bushings on our project 1957 DeSoto. He’ll also demonstrate how to properly lubricate bushings and assemble the bushings on the sway bar. Mark explains how this is a relatively basic classic car upgrade that most enthusiasts should feel comfortable making, and not to mention the added benefits of better suspension performance and elimination of suspension system noises.
