Time takes a toll on rubber bushings. Keep in mind that rubber bushings can look good but still be bad. MOOG offers a lot of replacement rubber bushings for these cars. There are a few things to be aware of when making mods to improve ride quality:1. In some cases, good rubber bushings will cost as much, or more, than poly bushings. 2. Some bushings require a press to install, which adds cost (if you don't own a press). For example: New OEM-style A-arms with bushings & ball joints might be a better option than buying new rubber bushings and having them pressed into your old A-arms. 3. Don't overlook the steering rack bushings, upper strut mount bushings & upper differential housing bushings. 4. Many aftermarket non-adjustable "performance" shocks & struts are stiffer than OEM shocks & struts. An "OEM replacement" set is probably better for your specific application. 5. If you're going to change the rubber bushings in the front suspension, you will need to get the car aligned. Make sure you change all the old bushings at once to avoid having to pay for multiple alignments.</blockquote>
