I have 190k and just replaced all my bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends with moog stuff.

Was a VERY noticeable improvement.

Also might want to check trans and motor mounts.

Default A suggestion for you that will save time and not be a hassle!

Hello
I noticed that you are interested in a suspension upgrade! And I just wanted to leave you know that If you are looking to get better performance out of your vehicle. I would suggest just replace the rear lower control arms and pan hard bar seeing how they are just a stamped factory piece. UMI Performance offers a few different versions of rear end suspension kits. They all feature Energy Suspension and are grease able. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad
