Default Always do lowers AND uppers

Although I didnt buy complete control arms... I did buy energy suspension bushings for mine. About a month ago I pulled the lowers out, replaced the bushings with the ES bushings and welded in a peice of 1/4" steel to stiffin up the arm.




I didnt really notice much of a difference.

So I decieded on firday that I would pull the rearend and do the uppers. The first thing I noticed was the bushings were horribly worn out. So after a few hours I was ready for a test drive. Its like a whole different car, every shift at any rpm is like a hard kick in the butt. So, I guess I'm saying, lowers arent enough, do the uppers too!!
