How did you remove the old bushings in the hub? Great job

[@ryanrobitaille5903]

C clamp works great

[@toddedwards6470]

How did you change the differential bushings?

[@biggdame9691]

Nice vid....keep em coming....ya got my attention...LoL

[@TheProgamer2012]

I am doing coilovers, rear brembos and the 3.45 camaro diff soon and my rear sub frame has tons of surface rust. I think I might wanna just drop it and repaint it all like you did, any write up's you followed or any tips?

[@mitchsmods6896]

I didnt follow any write up's, but my biggest tip is if you are going to take any of the control arms off be careful with the camber bolts. The welds on the washers broke on mine and I ended up having to replace all 4 bolts. Everything was pretty straightforward and just cleaning up the rust took a lot of time and patience. Good luck, I hope all goes well with your project.

Do you do a vid of putting it back together?

[@mitchsmods6896]

I did a part 2 but it didnt really show how it goes together at all. It was a pretty jumpy video and i didnt really film it very well.

[@Bikemad24]

Mitch's Mods yes iv just watched it, im doing tbe exact same thing to a g8 gxp but im in the uk! Its been a nightmare for parts ect

@@Bikemad24 sorry i wasnt great at filming back when i did that project

Mitch's Mods did you have to get the geometry re set once the car was back together?

Hey. How was your ride quality after doing these bushings? Still daily driveable?

[@mitchsmods6896]

Absolutely, the car rides great after the installation.

[@greglayton2108]

@@mitchsmods6896 awesome. Im planning on doing very similar rear end mods. But have been worrying about if it will effect the ride too much. Have the bmr sub frame bushings and the bmr upper control arm bushing. With new poly trailing arms and toe rods also.

[@mitchsmods6896]

@@greglayton2108 i definitely recommend it. It greatly improves the handling and it doesn't deminish ride smoothness all that much.

[@gordonliddy9418]

that the stock 2.92 rear end?

[@mitchsmods6896]

Yes it is.

[@gordonliddy9418]

@@mitchsmods6896 think it would be much work to do that bmr upper control arm kit without dropping the whole rear end assembly down like in the video?

[@mitchsmods6896]

@@gordonliddy9418 you can do the upper control arms without dropping the frame, bmr has great instructions on how to install all of their products and you dont have to drop the frame unless you are doing the frame bushings.

What year was the camaro you got your brembos from

[@mitchsmods6896]

They are Cadillac ctsv brembos. I got the whole kit minus the spacers and wheel studs from zzperformance.com
