In the video you said the suspension is 59 1/2 on early and 611/2 on later model but I always thought the front suspension is 59 1/2 on early 60 1/2 on later and for the rear 60 1/2 early and 61 /12 for later . you also mention that, the extension of the rear was done replacing the knuckle. The knuckle are dffrentt due to the abs and the diameter of the stub shaft, that's true.My understanding is that it was done using a longer stub shaft in the knuckle and a thicker brake caliper bracket.

Sorry I didn't watch your video, I watched another, and they did not explain the passenger's side being different. I actually thought it was an aftermarket motor figuring it should be the same as the driver's side. The pin was the hardest part of the job.

Thank you for this excellent video. You are easy to follow along and could understand your process clearly. May I volunteer a small idea... about driving the slotted spring pin during reassembly (minute 22:32)? I used a channel lock pliers to squeeze/press the pin into the hole and it worked pretty well for both headlights. Thank again.

Thanks for the great video! I followed your directions to the t, did the left one last week and the right one this week. Easy peasy. Got my bushings from AutoZone use the ones that were made for a Ford window regulator. They work like a charm and my headlights due too! Thank you

I own a 94 C4 and I love the car because of the way it rides, the looks that it gets but most of all I love that because it was made before 96 here in Illinois I DO NOT have to go every 2 years to the state EPA facility to get checked out.

Thanks for this very through video, You mention that the difference between the 375 and 405 hp ZR-1 isn't a big deal. To get to 405 one would need to port out the engine and do some modification on the injectors, correct? Other things? General idea of investment to get this done? .

The video helped tremendously, I jumped up from my desk went out and disassembled the driver side headlight only to find the bushings looked new. Back to the drawing board...but at least I know how and can do it later if I need to.

I bought a dana 44 from a 1985 corvette with 307 or 308 gears.can i put 373 gears in it and are the older dana 44 weaker than the 1988 to 1996?

I have a 1986 Corvette bought a 1985 for the Dana 44.putting 373 gears in it..they all are the same strength.sometimes whoever installs gears might have to shave a little inside the differential to install the 373 gears but the difference from a 1985 to 1996 are the same Dana 44.i plan on changing the half shafts to a newer Corvette slightly thicker.but if anything most likely with big horsepower the prob would be the half shafts.im running 600 HP on a 383 stroker motor
