Default powerflex "race"shock mounts install

today i installed the,"race",powerflex front shock bushings.my car has almost 200k miles on it,so it is time to start replaceing suspension bushings.i have read many good reviews about,"powerflex",so i will use them for all the suspension bushings.I did make my own front and rear sway bushings of 85a shore strength and they are okay.i also have the,"Andy droplinks",great product.i still need to order the control arm front and rear from powerflex in order to compliment the new lemforder upper and lower ball joints. easy install on the shock bushings,took it out for a test ride,and "no squeeks",i think that i need to finish with the upgrades before i can notice better handeling..
