Happy turkey day all. My winter project is front lower controol arm bushings. I was thinking of getting aftermarket lcas w/ urethane bushings, either new or from somone parting out a car here. My question is what is the advantage of having adjustable arms if the car is a basically stock street car that will never see the track? What does the panhard bar do? Thank you.

It's pretty pointless to do that on a street car. Hell lots of people who race their cars stick with stock front arms.

So I should just have new bushings pressed in? Or do I need to buy arms?

Rubber or ureathane? My regular guy doesn't have a press. I was thinking of a spring shop?

Rubber.
Do a search, poly can bind, no reason to run it.

Wow, glad I asked. One other question please, what does a Packard bar do and will it help?

A panhard bar centers your tires in the wheel well if your running larger tires. The adjustable pb that is

Thank you, now I know I don't need it b/c I can't afford the 18" chrome foose nitros I want. Lol. If I manage to get a deal on a rear sway bar should I get it too? Does it make a difference for a non racing street app?

I went to look at the lca bushings on ebay where they all say bashing kit and sold individually. I don't claim to be a brain surgeon so I need four of them for around $25 each?

Man you really need to do some research, use the search function on this forum.

There is no point in getting a non-adjustble PHB, so if you get one get an adjustable or keep the stock one.
As for the rear swaybar, what size?
Getting an oversized rear swaybar can help with launching but hurt handling and ride quality.

Stay off ebay, never know what you are actually getting...

After searching most of the apps were for people wanting to lower their car or for racing. Thanks for the help.
