You are welcome. Thanks for the business. You only need the fronts, the rears have no such parts. There were various brands, Moog was one but I don't recall the part number off hand.

Are you sure that's the perch or the molded isolator piece that sits between the perch and the spring? From looking at the photo, it looks like it might be that to me.

There is an isolator which sits on the perch. All springs sit in that, I'm sure that you have on your current shocks. You need the metal perch, that sits on the clip on the shock which in turn the isolator sits upon (and the spring on top of that).

From what I can tell based on not so good pics and the description, yes.

you only need adjustable if you have some sort of issue where the axle isn't straight in the car (you can see that on an alignment rack), or you are planning on another rear axle where the mounts might not be welded on exactly the same on both sides (leading to the same issue I mentioned, the axle crooked in the car).

I sell, use, and recommend UMI parts. There are all kinds of LCA's, I'd recommend a combination Poly/Roto-joint arm like this: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=96&ModelID=7

There are adjustable versions, and ones that have roto-joints at both ends too. I would not recommend all poly bushed arms, most especially with the springs you picked up on the cheap and their high rates.

The Panhard bar can be poly bushed on both ends without the downside the LCA's will pose (binding in roll). However, poly stiff deflects and a roto-joint or rod-end has less play than the bushings. PHB's are found here: http://www.stranoparts.com/searchbym...D=67&ModelID=7

Yes, and not in a good way. Pro's are straight line grip. Con's are roll oversteer.

Are relocators needed when installing LCAs?
