I plan on upgrading my suspension to the M5400A Bullitt Mustang Suspension Kit , but I am wondering what bushing I should order and replace while I am down there.

The car has 60K on it and I am sure it can use it.

So while I am under there, what do you suggest I replace?

Thanks

Bushing only

front swaybar bushings
end links (whole thing)
UCA axle-end bushings

Well I have started to develop a klunk in the front end when turning while going in and out of a incline driveway for instance.

Everyone said to replace bushings and I might as well while I have the whole front suspension arpart.

Yea thats either steering rack bushings, end links, lca bushings or ball joints(all of these make a different crunch or pop on sharp turns, in and out of driveways). I doubt its the LCA's because of mileage, and the culprit is usually the rack bushing or ball joints, I would look there.
