The driver's side mount was definitely in an advanced state of decay.
L to R: Driver's side, new replacement, passenger's side.
The driver's side being this bad and feeling it from the right side makes sense because the sway bar's job is to transfer from the loaded side to the unloaded.
I will give Holden credit for making the nuts visible, but doing the 1/16th turn thing is irritating because they routed the positive battery cable right where I wanted my wrench to turn; on both sides!
I'm taking a break to eat before I put the wheels back on and test drive.
When I had the front suspension worked on, I had them put in Urethane bushing and it is stiffer but the ride feels better overall in my 2000 Chevy C-3500. I am considering it for them replace the bushing on the rear this next spring.
ReplyDeleteConverting to poly bushings means more work than I wanted to do. They don't make a 24mm mount for my frame, so I'd have to adapt a universal kit. For this car that's a take-off-the-bumper job to get good access.
