Front Lower Control Arm Bushings, Rear Most

energy suspension kinda screwed us by not making both size variations.

Well I think the only reason the ES bushings exist in the first place is because Ford had them made up for the ZX2 S/R, otherwise doubt we would even have that.

wait... ford itself actually had an influence on the production??? got anymore info on that?

Yeah such is life in these kinds of things. As you noticed my bushing is not that bad. I figured since I had it apart I might as well replace it. It did have some small cracking and I could deform it more then I would like. Yeah I know its an old car, I just like to have my stuff 100% I did put it all back together with the new LCA, forward bushing, and ball joint. My clunk when backing out first thing in the morning is gone.

I did order those other bushings from Rock auto. They are rubber. I will throw them on when I get them in. So far car rides great. I am still needing an alignment. I will just get that done once I get all the new parts on.

One thing I did do was change my top motor mount on the passenger side. Raised the engine up about 1/2-1"! Mount looked ok not great. But my shaking on idle in drive is now reduced. I still have the other 2 mounts to install.

Well idk for sure. It's just my guess really since that was part of that cars package and the kit is clearly made for it.
