No prob. It would be handy if I knew the answers to your questions before I called. I've seen alot of posts about customers speaking with the Pedders guys on the phone for over an hour, could be a big time saver.... Unless you just like to talk

Let's talk about ease of installation.... For those of us on a budget, but would like to eventually replace most bushings, what can be replaced before the whole rear cradle and exhaust needs to be removed?

Some have passion about their product. (LPE, Pedders and Wretched proved it.) Some shove parts it in a box and say "oh well, your fault" when it breaks. |

One of my jobs that I did when I was a tech and after getting a degree in auto technology, I went back to school and got a Automotive Vocational Education Degree. I would work as a tech in the day, and teach at the college level 2 nights a week. Did this for about 7 years. My teaching life has given me a great insite (with the exception of my crummy spelling) in writing manuals and training others. With that said, we have install manuals for sway bars, Xa kits, front radius rod bushings, rear diff bushings, and rear cradle insert bushings. 15 guys or so have used the Xa manual for the Camaro, and other than grammer and spelling, have found them to be quite acceptable. I also have a complete Track manual for a G8, which applies approximately 95% to the Camaro. So I have a lot of info out there and available on our Pedders forum. You can see them and down load them by going into the Camaro and G8 sections. The radius rod, cradle and diff bushing processes are identical, b"radius rod bushing is adjustable on the G8, but not the Camaro. With our Pedders alignment kit, however, we can make it adjustable. The rear diff bushings are a little different. The G8 uses an aluminum outer jacket, and the Camaro uses a steel jacket. There is one more step. So I think we pretty much got you covered. Once I have access to a totally complete Track install on a Camaro, I will take pictures, and totally ugrade everything. mike dms |
