I have replace almost every bushing in my car. I got the Energy Suspension Hyper Flex System that they have. It took some time but the ride is definately different believe it or not. Just get that package. I think it doesn't include motor mounts, transmission mount, and some rear bushings but I don't remember exactly. Both companies make quality stuff so don't worry about that, just look for a package that's in you budget. Oh yeah, if you control arms aren't broken then you don't need the whole thing, just the bushings...

ive also got a 95 240sx and am currently in the proccess of replacing most my bushings. i got a suspension package deal through pdm-racing (that they no longer are selling) that included almost every whiteline bushing they sell. front t/c rod bushings, front control arm bushings, rear subframe bushings, rear upper and lower control arm bushings. im about half way done. unless it is a real problem for you to get some of the arm bushings pressed just buy the bushings individually without the arms. basically the front bushings usually wear out faster than the rear so most people start there but the more bushings you replace the more stiff and precise your suspension will become. not really a list that you must replace.on another note, my mechanic is having trouble pressing the T/C rod bushings in. does anyone have suggestions on how to get those suckers in?
