time for some new LCAS!

Its hard to say but yeah sounds like its time to replace either the bushings or the whole arms. Just doesnt sound right the car isnt even that old, how many miles?

if your gonna go through the pita to swap the bushing trust me just get some new lcas and swap them out it makes a big difference.

Yeah thats what I planned on, Id like to get the upper and lowers, as well as shocks. And speaking of that what would be best suspension to lower it, I have 18"s I just cant decide really. What would be the best for the control arms as well? Thanks for the help everyone. I been needing to do the suspension anyways it looks goofy sitting kinda high.

I also have FRPP 4.10s and a full bearing kit to go in as well, Suspension parts is what im dreading cost for though.

Personally im gonna go with a PHB and TA and get rid of the UCAs. If you go with ucas i believe people suggests adjustable ones and as for the LCAs you should get ones with spherical bearings on both ends. I went with MM. T
his will help you big time:

Hey man I had the exact same problem at about 75,000 mi.... Props for figuring out its your bushings, when you take them off you'll see that instead of looking like a doughnut it now looks like the letter "C" due to the wear from the weight being transferred to the rear when moving forward from a stop. (Also when slamming it into second during WOT)
I went with Hotchkis upper and lower control arms and love them.
Good luck and don't worry... your stang isn't going to drop the drive shaft.

I have like 118000 on the body now i believe. I got it 3 years ago with only 78000. And trust me ive done a lot of screwing around in that time. Which is most likely why i needed a new motor built haha.

So I can't decide what to go with, ln a fairly limited budget. I would like to do a PHB and everything but dont have the money, I think Im just going to replace both UCA and LCAs but I cant decide what to go with, I know the polys are suposed to be bad on the uppers and to get the spherical if possible, I just cant decide. Also I dont know if I should get adj. uppers because I do plan to lower it. I found some through UPR that looked good and the Hotchkis ones are nice too or Steedas or the MM, but the MM are kind of pricey I think. I kinda need to spend minimal amount, I dont know what do you guys think?
