hi.

90 vert thats developing a fair amount of bumping and squeeking under the body. I feel like it probably has to do with sway bar bushings or tie rod/ steering related items. I have looked around at various sites for replacing the myriad of rubber and urethane goodies but not sure how to tell which ones are responsible for the noises. Are there any shadetree mech. techniques for isolating or honning in on the culprits? Im sure a visual inspection is a strong beggining but im alittle to tall to stand under the car....ecspecially while its on its weight and moving....

Thanks in advance.....

Ever thought about replacing all of the bushings at once? Especially on cars this old.

I have Energy Suspension kit on my car. It's another world.. very responsive and steering is real tight, like a nun. The hardest part of it was the control arms, you will need a press. You wont use the bushings for the sway bar end-links. 89-91 are plastic, not sure about Verts though. Hope that helps.

I could swear I found them for ~$100 somewhere, but I don't remember where! I installed the full kit, it made a huge improvement!
