Yes. You can.
I saw a 'Sticky' on the procedure somewhere.... try this http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=121362&highlight=bushings
The placement of the jackstands and the lift points are key.

Thanks for your replyls so far just one other thing do i have to either remove front bumper or just losen bolts on irons to chassis before trying to pry sub frame down. I only plan on replacing the 4 main bushes has the very front ones are not giving us ant problems. Priate parts have a lot to answer for always go to a known brand thats tried & trusted!!!

Please spray ALL S/f bushing bolts down at least three times over a WEEK w/ PBB before you start your S/F/ bushing R&R.

I installed hard as frozen hockey puck, poly S/F bushings in my car vs aluminum jobbers so take your pick.

And now is a great time to install S/F/C's from someplace like Jegs AND I did!!
