Refreshing front suspension (What bushings/parts do I need??)
Refreshing front suspension (What bushings/parts do I need??)
What bushings and parts (tie rods, ball joints??) do I need to replace to solve the “free play” in the steering and front suspension? I recently changed my wheels (and front tires from 245/50/16 for 275/4017), and now I have to keep my both hands on the steering wheel because my car is all over the street (I just have to fight wit it to keep it in straight line).
Last week I ordered the Level II shocks/springs suspension package from LSP (Firehawk option) + 1LE sway bar. So I decided that I will do everything at once and change all needed bushings parts at the same time.
So what parts do I need to refresh my front suspension??? And are the polyurethane bushings any good (worth the money??) I was also thinking about buying Rag Joint Eliminator Kit What do you thing about that??

I hate to say it, but I don't think it is your suspension. I went through the same thing as you (switching from 245's to 275's) and had the same problem of pulling left and right violently over the ruts in the road. I took my car to shops, had it checked, re-aligned, etc, just to have everyone tell me it is because of the wide tires. I am currently looking to switch back to 16's and 245's or just buying 2 new 245/17's for the front. Also, can you let me know how the level II works, as I was looking into the same setup. Thanks,
Kyle
