BEST FIRST MOD EVER!!!! If there was anything that HAS to be done to our cars, this is it. Good choice and you WILL notice the difference.

They are essential to replace... just did them in my buddies couple days ago.

Rear radius rod bushings are also good to have but the fronts are critical.

You should talk to chris (robofuzz). He just recently installed Pedders rr bushings and he seems to LOVE them. He'll give you a good opinion.

Definitely worth it. You don't realize how much slop is in those factory radius rod bushings until you do this mod!

Yep... tightens up the whole front end.

I did front and rear, amazing difference. The rears go in the other side of the rod into the control arm. The fronts are pretty much bolt in, and the rears you need a ball joint press to get out. Call duckman, get the parts, get it done. It's a relatively cheap upgrade and worth every cent you paid and every minute you worked on it.

That is a good price. Back in '05 there was a local company (Autoform) that distributed SuperPro poly bushings and they ran a sale on front RR bushings for $125. That was before it really came to light how much we needed them and I'm glad I snapped that deal up.

I know a local Goat owner who made his own... he has a little lathe and other things to do the machine work.
