Swaybar-control arm bushings. If you get the Moog ones from Rockauto, two bushings already come in a pack...don't order a quantity of 2 like I did!

Edit: I mean swaybar/frame bushings.

I went back and forth on a similar parts list for a suspension job next Spring, and came away convinced that parts like ball joints and tie-rods are best replaced when broken.

Springs and struts, however, is money well spent.

Just my 2-cents offered, in that I'm reading a very familiar wish list.

Are you replacing everything because you are in there, or is all that stuff really bad?

RockAuto.com and AutoParts.com are great sources.

My Max now has 82K on it and I figured might as well do it all at one time.
