Powerflex looks to be $444 not counting the $88 mugan bushing. I'm not sure what number 3 is on the powerflex website though.

Thats alot cheaper then both OEM and Mugan. I might just do the powerflex and what bushings I can't do have my cousin do.

I believe three is the bushing where the damper mounts to the rear arm. I didnt get that one or the sway bushings (my bar came with new poly bushings.) I got everything else they had.

Ok thanks. Do your bushings squeak? Do you lube them? If so with what and how often?

My front lowers squeek. Haha. Its annoying. Silicone spray lasts for about a day. I antiseized the bolts and lubed the bushes on install too. I just ignore it, and hope the competition thinks my cars janky.

Nah they shouldnt. Mine arent making any noise. Worn out compliance bushings can clunk and squeek.

Toe in or zero toe is what most people go with. Toe out in the rear would make the car VERY loose. Zero toe it is still going to be a bit loose depending on setup. Toe in makes the rear more stable.
