Well after reading a bit on body bushings also one of the things on my list. It sounds like i am better off to put those in before i straighten up the front end as it might shift when i replace those.

Poly? I like what i hear about poly body bushings but the fact that you have to reuse your old metal sleaves worries me a bit. Also i am unsure if you still use the metal washers with poly's.

Also this is the kit i plan on buying.

I thought there were only 8 bushings why are there 32 in this kit is this the correct kit what is the order that they are installed?

Do a search. I posted a picture of the location of the bushings. My kit came with washers & sleaves. I bought it at OPG or Muscle Factory.

found that if anyone else is looking. It looks like it comes with the sleaves & washers, no bolts but that is the least of my worries.

My sleeves were part of the washer (one piece). Just a cheaper way of making them. I see no difference.

Energy Suspension makes a nice set. Their appearance is a little different from the the orginals, but I really like mine.
