ok i went to the mechanic for an alignment and he pointed out my bushing were totally shot. here is a picture of what he told me should be changed. its the one on the bar that actually supports and holds the tire and strut. how hard are these to change all around the car, and what are the best to buy?

You need new T/C rod bushings http://www.pdm-racing.com/prod....html

I upgraded with SPL V2 adjustable tension rods instead.

btw, you only have 2 t/c rods, theyre only on the front suspension. just making sure you knew that since you said "all around the car"

take a look at your tie rod bushings as well, i bet theyre toast.

I just changed mine last month because they were completely torn. Honestly I don't know how I drove around on them because it was horrible. I upgraded to Energy Suspension poly bushings and it's awesome. The bushings are really easy to change. I just used some really big sockets from an industrial socket set and banged them out with a hammer. Repeat for the poly bushings and your in business. Total cost was like $45.

I'd replace most of the bushings because the sway bar bushings look a little hard aswell.
