C5 Corvette Suspension Geometry

[WS6]

vansteel makes hubs for the C5/6 that have tapered bearings and are serviceable for anyone wanting a better hub than stock. Their prices are pretty good as well.

Also, there's a J-tool that's specifically designed to pop the ball joints apart and not damage anything. I use it all the time when doing work on C5s. Never an issue putting it back together or taking it apart.

So your debunking the myth that the spindles are not rebuildable?

The uprights have always been rebuildable. The problem was that GM didn't sell the ball joints seperatly. Also, they take a bit more work since they are pressed in.

But now aftermarket parts are available. As a bonus the parts are better than what GM supplied. I thought I heard someone was selling stock replacements as well.
