Parts installed were, LCAs with ball joints, outer tie rods, front sway bar end links, pole's poly front and rear mounts, rear sway bar bushings, rear sway bar end links, and end link grommets. The car handles incredible now compared to before. I was drifting all over the road before. A combo of understeer and oversteer in cornering, clunking all over the place, very rough on small bumps, etc. Feels like a brand new car all over again. I can't wait for tomorrow when I toss the summer wheels and tires back on. Warm and sunny in the 70's. Sorry for the useless post.
