Two true weaknesses of our suspensions are the LCA and chasis flex. I simply suggested that he try to address those if he can. We agree that if his upper bushings are shot and sloppy loose, they should be replaced. A moderate suspension drop will not require CC Plates to align, so he may get more benefit from LCA or FLSFC than CC Plates.
I said that. He said "Its a 96 with 130k and all original suspension." In my experience, the soft OEM bushings on a 17 year old Mustang with 130k miles will be worn out.
