I'm trying to get new bushings for the front end of my car so I can get an alignment. I went on summit and it looks like they don't have a complete kit. what do you guys recomend? I could buy bushings seperate but I'm not really sure which ones I need.

thanks for the help

Just Suspension
PST

But I would go with Moogs, you'll be happier in the long run.

More than likely you need them all, JS and PST have kits of different variations, Moog you buy piece by piece from the parts house. Moog will last you a very long time and poly will squeak from the word go, some worse than others.

They will if you install them wrong and dont properly lube them. Poly here, no squeaks .

Don't know for sure I guess, since all the sounds bothered me I never tried a set of polys, BUT I have not been around a car in 25+ with them that you didn't know it in a minute. I have heard lubing them first, before installation is a big plus to minize the squeak. I'll yeild to your word though, I'll stick with Moog for my work.

Poly on 6 different cars over 20 years, no issues.

Job's only as good as the weakest link and it sure is easier to blame someone else rather than yourself.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Same here,....nothing but poly, NEVER a squeak, or problem, been using them since early 80's.....I'd recommend PST as a quality replacement!

Besides lube the most important thing is not to tighten/torque bolts until the weight of the vehicle is on the suspension.

go with Poly. If you hear a squeek, perform an engine and exhaust upgrade for more power and sound!
