Also did energy suspension bushings
Sorry, no pics. Definitely tightened up the handling (less floating in the steering). Interesting note, the stockers were rubber and not polyurethane which I thought came on the 96 SE. Couldn't get the mid-control arm bushings out.. any hints in the FSM or anyone have success?

The mid arm bushings came off fine for me... Did you have both ends free when you tried to put them on?
Btw... The slit needs to be facing foward if memory serves me correctly? Take a look at what direction they are when you take them off. If you put the slit facing the wrong direction the urethane bushings will tear and squeak like crazy. Trust me on this.
