Replacing suspension and steering

In process of obtaining new parts for front suspension and new steering on 91 camaro . It is a daily driver. I do not have experience with what modifications would be good to get for my daily driven camaro. So far i have NAPA inner and outer tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, center link, coupler, and remanufactured steering box. Grabbing UMI caster camber plates, BMR a-arm tubulur, koni sport yellows front/rears. I already have intrax lowering springs. I am unsure what other parts i should get before i start replacing them. Any other things i should get to smooth out my ride feel on daily driver? Thanks for any suggestions.

Sway bar bushings & end links (poly), subframe connectors, wonder bra, strut tower brace.

Re: Replacing suspension and steering

I just overhauled my front suspension.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...-bushings.html

My Pittman Arm, Center Link, and Idler Arm were already new(ish) so I didn't replace those.

When you order sway-bar bushings, BE SURE TO MEASURE the diameter of your sway bar. For whatever reason, GM sent third gen cars out with every sway bar diameter under the sun. Don't trust the website at a parts vendor to tell you the right size for your car.

Have fun with the spring compressor. ;-p

Re: Replacing suspension and steering

If you're going through the trouble of removing most of the front end you might want to consider your wheel bearings too.
