What do you guys recommend to fix my loose 150k suspension?

The car is all over the road! During normal driving the car grabs every little groove and really can't go straight. At wot the car will get real loose and wobbly and high speeds. Anyone have any experience with any of the front end rebuild kits that are offered? What specifically can cause the wobbliness at wot?

With the mileage you've got, I would make a project of it and change out ALL of the suspension bushings. Even rubber replacements would be night/day. Check your ball joints while you're there too.

repalcing all the bushings would be a good idea as is replacing tie rods and ball-joints that need it. I would definately get some new shocks while you are at it.

Defenantly replace the bushings. Mine are f34ked right now and it feels like ****. You can feel all kinds of sh*t in the road. Also I wouldn't stop myself from changing out the Wheel Bearings if I were you.
