you're gonna have to get Whiteline bushings, which is the bomb!
use the search button,
type in keyword>>> whiteline bushings
and find out how and where to buy them from.
be ready to spend over $400 if you're replacing most of your bushings.

My opinion on bushings: do them last. On my other cars I haven't noticed too much of a difference putting in poly bushings. Be sure to ask the persion you are buying them from if they squeak or if any special lube is required.

If you badly need bushings, you probably needed ball joints and tie rods as well.

If you just need a couple of bushings, aftermarket poly bushings are usually easier to install than stock rubber.

I do agree. However, if you check out www.pdm-racing.com it is cheaper to replace the entire front control arms with new stock bushings than it is too replace the ball joints and the bushings.

If he has blown out ball joints, tie-rod ends, etc. he is going to be dissapointed with just replacing the bushings.

I'm not trying to preach, it is just a pet peave of mine.
