I had a bear of a time breaking the nuts loose. Had to use a cheater pipe with my breaker bar. Should have sprayed Blaster on the night before. Also got new hardware for the arms and panhard bar from UMI. About $20 for Grade 8/ 10.9 plated bolts, crimp style lock nuts, and washers.

It’s hard to remember the stock ones it was so long ago. As I recall under heavy acceleration the stock ones seem to flex and the rear end danced around a little. That seem to be eliminated with the Tubular ones and Polly bushings

Ok so my issue with mine is it wheel hops like a mofo in a straigh line would these help it squat down in the back and actually hook in a straight line? I have good tires alot of tread it just doesn't squat any suggestions
@JGD16

These tubular control arms are stronger and don't flex like the stock one's. they also have poly bushings that are stiffer than the stock rubber. that should reduce some of that wheel hop.

What was the grease you put on the bushings
@JGD16

It’s a silicone-based grease that came with the poly bushings. The grease is needed to prevent the bushings from squeaking
