What are the best bushings to use in the front? Front suspension still seems tight. I have Summit drag shocks stock V8 coils and an iron headed BBC. No sway bar. The car doesn't transfer much weight during launch. Any help appreciated. Kevin

Fresh stock bushings are fine, but should have the serrated teeth ground off the ends of the inner sleeves, and when bolted in, you should take care not to over tighten the bolts, putting the bushings in a bind.

Also, you have to torque the bushing bolts with the front suspension in the loaded position or with the car on the ground.
