Your Bday says 1985...

I really doubt it now that you have a 68 Camaro..
Chevy parts are the easiest Domestic parts to find..Why dont you check auto part stores..instead of having someone look for stuff for you..The best way is to do it yourself right?

umm yea i do have a 68 camaro, and a 2001 v6 maro. you can come over and check it out if you don't believe me. its a 68 sport coupe w/ a 350. not numbers matching. exterior is white, it was painted abotu 6 months ago before i bought it. interior is blue. i will go take some pics w/ my digi since you don't believe me. and yea so what my bday is 1985 and im 17 why does that mean i dont have a 68 camaro?
EDIT - and the reason i asked here is because i respect most peoples opinions here. i have met a few people from the boards and they were very nice + seemed to know enough about cars. i dont know about anything about suspension stuff, so i asked here.

Man, thanks for the tip.

I am hoping to be able to replace my bushings in the next year or so. I had concidered polyurethage but knew they are notorious for getting squeeky.

He is doing it himself, give the kid a break, he just asked for help to begin looking.


Josh, good luck with your search, auto parts stores might be somewhere to start with the ball joints, and if you're looking for some better stuff might want to pick up a copy of Hot Rod.
