Default help bushings

i m changing my steering bushings for the autocross it s making a slight noise and wanting to change so it s ready for it.
Should i go with the aluminum or a plastic one

http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=302

or
a simple one

WHICH ONE!!!
and second what s offset and regular

maybe this too or the factory is fine if no noise

I went with poly bushings when i changed all mine out. It stiffened things up plenty, I dont think that the aluminum would be worth the extra money.

I would talk to Maximum Motorsports.

If you have the stock K member, they recommend getting center drilled aluminum bushings. I think they are about $40-50 from MM.

I would either remove the isolators or go with poly urethane ones.

For the ball joints, I don't have any experience but I have seen many people go with the steeda X2's.

For subframe connectors, go with Maximum Motorsports Full Lengths. They will ridiculously change your car. It won't feel like a Ford anymore.

X2 in addition, when you have the sub frames welded in, make sure you hit each weld with rustoleum.
