Default control arm bushings

just an FYI for anyone interested. my rear control arm bushings were shot and the car was out of warranty so I decided to install some Energy Suspension parts myself. purchased the entire kit for front and rear. Now bear in mind I am highly mechanically inclined and have a ton of tools and the installation was an absolute "nightmare." it took my son and me from 8am Sat to 8pm Sun to do the job. so, that said don't tackle this job unless you have tools, help, lotsa patience, and know how to pray! and while you have the control arms off have some new ball joints installed at the same time so you won't have to deal with this again. something else I did discover was that alot of the Chrysler bushings are even harder than the Energy busings and therefore would give less squish which translates to better handling. a few of the bushings I have found like this are the front and rear sway bar bushings, bumper stops, spring pads etc.
so I decided not to install alot of these.....just wanted to pass along my 2 cents
