A-Arm Bushings

My front end has all new parts aside from A-Arm bushings, and my alignment changes dramatically every 2,000 miles....I am literally eating up the two front $150 Michelins because of it!

The only place left to look is the A-Arm bushings.

PST has a complete front end kit, but I don't see a bushings only kit in polygraphite. I would also like somewhat adjustable strut mounts to help adjust the camber in favor of more cornering grip, as it is I am eating up the outsides of the front tires and I doubt it's entirely alignment related.

Is PST the way to go on bushings or does somebody else offer a great product at a reasonable price? I don't mind stiffness, though I would like to avoid squeaking is at all possible....

that is common on strut cars as they don't have camber gain during compression like an A-arm car. bushing flex during hard cornering aggravates it.

put a set of hard bushings on the car and add some negative camber with caster/camber plates and that should fix you up. '87-'88 thunderbirds use the same front lower control control arm bushings as '94-'04 mustangs. i used these.....they have went up in cost a lot since i did mine just a few years ago. i think i paid about $35 for the fronts...
