He's gonna say you need at least one spherical bushing in the control arm. J&m makes one and it's not too much more. It might be worth it to look into it. I'll do some checking and see.

Found them. They are $30 more and will be well worth it.

Allows free articulation of the rear end and will not bind. Usually it's best to get both ends with spherical bushings but it's not really necessary, unless you're racing all the time. Some go that far to have the best performance for the street. When you go from one spherical to two, nvh will go up but not terribly a lot.

I knew what Jazzer was going to say!!! He's told me that like 9 times, haha. But yeah, I've heard good things about J&M and will probably be the route I go.
