Bad Panhard bushings, opinions needed My panhard bushings are bad should I wait to save for an adj panhard or just spend the $15 on the energy suspension bushings until I can afford to do the adjustable. I guess what I'm asking is that is it worth my time to do just the bushings.

If you're on a tight budget at this point, by all means go with the ES parts. It could be potentially dangerous driving around with bushings that are shot. In other words, even if down the road you plan on an adj. bar, you might not need one, if you don't fix the car and make it safe NOW, and wind up crashing it.....

As long as the bolts are in place and tight, you don't run the risk of completely losing the panhard bar. That could make for some "tricky handling", as well as letting the rear shift around enough to possibly let the tires tear up your quarter panels and/or inner fenders.
But, there's still potentially enough "slop" for the rear to move sideways an inch or two, if the bushings are TOTALLY gone, so you would want to fix it the best that your budget will allow.
