of all the bushings i've replaced on my car the shock absorber (outter control arm bushing) made the biggest impact...night and day, my whole front end is stuffed with whiteline bushings

Honestly I slowly replaced mine til i completed the front end...once you pull the lower control arm off you might as well swap out the inner and outter LCA's...done compression rod? I paid a local 30-40 bucks easy work with a press

Drew...Price-wise, I got the Energy Suspension front bushing kit from one of the dealers here a tad under what they sell for here on the forums by the vendors. IIRC install price locally was 150 for the kit (they also installed a rear endlink that had snapped in half, which is minor once it was up on the lift.
