MORE Maintenance........
WHEW! I guess things wear out at about 100K
When at Cresson, I noticed the car was not as smooth/predictable as I expected it to be. It has been ~ 6 months since my last track day and I accept that I may have been "out of touch" with the nuances of the handling.
NOPE. Front driver's side lower ball joint had some play/slop in it, so we checked out the rest of the suspension. rear upper driver's side ball joint also had some play in it, although less than the front.
Upgraded to the Z28 parts
23105014 Left Side Handling Link
23105015 Right Side Handling Link
23104902 Right Rear Upper Control Arm
23104903 Left Rear Upper Control Arm
The fronts were very easy to swap out, the rears...........less so.
I did some minor clean up while it was apart. The red cable runs directly between the battery and starter, tucked it up and secured it out of the way
I have new found respect for the folks that drop the rear cradle with the car on jack stands. The lift made it straight forward with much more room to work. Once the cradle is out, the arms are very easy to replace.
