Default New control arm bushings.

I'd like to put the poly bushing pack on my car starting with the crappy control arm bushings I have in there now. ( mine or worn out ). Should I get new control arms or just take out the current arms and replace just the bushings?

Also, are there any negative affects on replacing all the bushings I can with poly bushings?

Thanks

I would say if your control arms are already in decent shape, just replace the bushings with poly ones. I have the Energy Suspension kit but have yet to install it, for a race car I don't see any reason not to install bushings all over to stiffen things up.

Cool beans, just didn't know if too much of a good thing could be bad here.

Ever had a choclate, peanut butter, marshmallow, fudge, strawberry, coconut, macadamian nut, pink sprinkled, reses pieces, choclate rocky road ice crea sandwich before.

Too much good stuff is no good, sometime.

Thanks
