I bought the kit about a year or so ago when I discovered how difficult it would be for me to replace the old bushings with new OEM bushings. They were a tight fit and some went in easier than others. That said it was a good project to do for my car. Handling was noticeably improved and the loose whobbly feel that I had before the project has not returned after maybe 10k miles.

If you decide to do this by buy a second tube of the aqualube and be very generous with it.
Thanks a bunch,
Jon
