Vette(s): 1981 silver over charcoal coupe
My 81 has a slight squirrely feel when getting on and off the gas at around 40 mph. The strut rod bushings as well as a few others Im sure need to be replaced, would it be easier to replace the bushings or just change the whole darn rod, thier only about 40.00 bucks each,and is that likely the culprit of that strange sideways feeling squat Im experiencing???

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
Changing the whole rod is easier. Just bushings are cheaper. The bushings can be tough to remove. If you have a fairly well equipped shop do the bushings. If you're not sure, get the entire rod.
All bushings make a huge difference in handling and ride.
