Control Arm Bushing???
I guess the time has come to replacing upper/lower control arm bushings....
Im leaning towards Daizen http://www.tmengineering.net/suspens...n/make/sc.html,
then I also found Carson Tuned http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1868.
What do you guys think???

I spent 125 on parts, and 500 to get the LCA's installed, it took Jason at JPI a day, but it's a LOT tighter steering and handling now, and I think it's worth it! Don't try to install it yourself though, it is a hard install and if you mess something up, those control arms are NOT cheap!

I did the Daizen camber bushings in the upper control arms front and rear
I was able to do the fronts myself. The rears.... not so much. Big labour bill for those. They are a ***** and I still have no idea how the shop got them out with just hand tools. You can't get power tools in there.
Be prepared for a stiffer more firm ride with Daizen. I would recommend OEM if you want to keep the soft ride.
