CM bushing DIY?

Has anyone done the suspension bushing replacement DIY? I have heard it does wonders for turn-in.

CM

I replaced the control arm bushings on my 2003 Z06 with the VB and P polyurethane bushings. I am pleased with the result as some of the "slop" was removed from the system and the steering response is much better. I submitted a thorough write-up on removing and installing the bushings and on the procedure for each control arm to the DIY section at Z06Vette.com - Corvette Z06 Forum.
