...don't change control arm bushings?
 
has anyone else done the control arm bushings and had unsatisfactory results* like TurDz? I was able to purchase the Energy Suspension bushings from www.suspension.com/ I was very satisfied with pricing and customer service. Anyone have any suggested tips for changing out the front end links and sway bar frame bushings?

Make sure both wheels are off the ground when you try to change the bushings. Also release both end link's at the same time or you'll never be able to swing that sway bar up and off. It's got to be lifted off both sides at the same time, otherwise your fighting the tension of the bar.

This is a very easy job with the help of a buddy.
