Okay so when I go over bumps or wear spots in the road my sc makes a fairly violent clunking noise. I am aware I need new struts but it sounds like it may be something else as well. Sometimes I hear a noise that sounds like rubber squeaking? control arm busing might be needed? Are polly mounts available to us and if so where?

actually, the bushings for every arm bushing on the car totals up to just over $100. If you're paying for labor, otoh, then maybe. unless it's the rear uca, shouldn't be too hard though.

If you guys can point out where to buy id be greatfull. So far I have found bushing for each arm to be $100 so thats $200 each side because of upper and lower. I didnt plan on this costing $800.

Yeah I did searching but as normal I found a bunch of threads with jumbled reviews of distributors and arguments rather than part quality. I outsourced my search and I decided the Polythane sets from Jegs will be my way to go once I purchase coilovers.
