Suspension Changes FAQ page

[3X00-Modified]

Please give me more info to add to this. I would like to keep swaybars separate from this page, so yes I KNOW I left that out as far as "changes" made.

I'm not sure if you can view this, but try this link and critique me. I do not know all there is to know about what they changed... I had only a 95 and 96 so I'm not sure if anything else was different.

"Rear Bushing 97-93" to "Rear Bushing 87-93" in pic caption. Maybe add an extra return between each to visually group it better.

Everything else looks good!

Looks great. Sure would like to have the GM numbers too.

I'm quite sure the GM numbers are going to be discontinued so really there is no point in trying to find them and put them up.

Fixed spelling error and seperated the images a little.

Still learning how the HTML editor works on that site

Content wise you guys are all good with? Thats what I want to check most.

You could list different part numbers for each FE-level suspension, for example Compnine shows that there were at least 3 different grade of the rear axle bushings. 10150339 would be FE7 one. Tho can't find it from GMpartsdirect, Google still brings it up..

I'm not on the rear axle, this is simply the front control arm setup... I can add to the end of that to contain the rear axle bushings as well, since I did mention the spring changes back there as well as shock changes.

I'll also re-word it so it says it's listings for the front and rear bushing locations on the control ams

EDIT*
If your referring to different grade front bushings, I'm not sure if they even exist... CompNine doesn't even list PN's for the 94-96 front control arm bushings. At least not in the image I was looking at.

Ok, this is why I didn't want to include GM numbers... It gets so damn confusing...

Can anyone verify this.... I found these numbers on CompNine but they do not point to the proper item or have a full enough description to verify for sure.

#89033037 Says BUSHING,FRT LWR CONT ARM(LOWER FRT)(PART OF 32)(ACDelco #45G9219) I'm assuming that means the front Control arm bushing.
#88912674 Says BUSHING,FRT LWR CONT ARM(54.00MM OUTSIDE DIAM)(PART OF 32)(ACDelco #45G9097) I'm assuming that means the rear control arm bushing.

Now both are labeled as #41 which is pointing at the rear bushing alone in the diagram, but the images included look correct to my assumptions.

Now the other bushing is labeled as #35
#14026628 (The PN I have on the page) this is listed as BUSHING,FRT LWR CONT ARM(FRT)(PART OF 32) but is the only one to carry the RPO code of FE7, the rest of the bushings reference all the 4 cylinder and v6 models.

So is it safe to assume that the 14026628 number is a kit for FE7 and they do infact have a different compound for that setup?

93 Model page that I'm looking at http://www.compnine.com/index.php?u=1&y ... rouptype=B

I did not find any listings at all on CompNine for the 94-96 so I'm assuming there were no FE3 specific bushings and they were just all the same.

Yes they had different bushings for different suspensions, they do seem to vary a bit with the years tho. I'm sure many of these are discontinued and hard to source but it's interesting information to be preserved...

Rear bushings are listed under "FRAMES-SPRINGS-SHOCKS-BUMPERS"

1994 L37 SUSPENSION/REAR

That year alone seems to have:
L(FE2)(EXC Z04) BUSHING,R/AXL(GREEN)
L(FE3, Z04) BUSHING,R/AXL(BLUE)
L(FE1, FE2) BUSHING,R/AXL(YELLOW)

I guess the color is small paint stain on the bushing.
