I have the MM Panhard Rod kit installed on my car. (which I installed over a 11hr. period myself and it works wonderfully, but transfers some axle noise) So me, like many, know the value of good parts. I've been working with cars since 1974 and I have found over the years that some parts are overpriced for the sake of a name.  These MM parts are awsome for racing and serious streeters but at the same time are known to be noisy. I've read it over and over in many forums. Many have removed them because of it. I may buy them yet, I don't know. Do the MM LCA's accentuate the rear end gear "slop" as many say?After repeated hard launches, do the MM's cause expensive or unrepairabe torque box damage just because they are so strong?Is it a very good idea to buy a torque box reinforcement kit when using the MM's?     Probably.Or are they really kinda "overkill" for a daily driven street car?    Maybe.I'm sure are all good questions ........... I don't thrash this car like my old 400+ hp '69 Plymouth Road Runner (no remote comparison to late Mustangs), So my questionstill is: Are the MM LCA's really necessary for my car? My driving style?  It's not like I'm looking at a set of Granatelli LCA's. ($120) I've read many negative comments on those including: "The welds just seem to have come apart". I'm probably going to order something today, as I'm tired of listening to the creaking from the worn (149K mi.) factory arm bushings.So talk to me. Do you think the J&M's 3 pc. spherical bushing setup even rank as a tier 2 part or are they just in a word "shit".GT   Oh, By the way. Ordered the MM LCA's. Soon I'll just buy stock in Maximum Motorsports Inc.</blockquote>
