My car is only a daily driver and I already have energy suspension tie rod bushings installed. I have some ES control arm bushings just not installed yet (are they even worth it to install?)

Which bushings would benefit me the most for daily driving?

I was gonna get some rack and pinion bushings because my semi-mechanic said my steering rack moves, but I cant find where they would go (looking through the FSM and searching online).

http://www.splparts.com ... ES rack bushings are cheap.

Look on the mounting brackets for the rack, there are two rubber bushings under neath the metal brackets.

I went outside today and saw what you were talking about. Thanks.

I saw that my control arm ball joints bushings were are shot to hell, the bushing that goes to my endlinks (that the sway bar attaches too) could be replaced, and the bushing thats at the end of my tie rods are shot too.

Damn, no one else wants to chime in or offer any opinions and/or help?

Start with what needs replacing first.

You can hit up http://www.splparts.com again for upgraded endlinks and tie rod ends.
