Default please some advice!!

wuts up guys? i know its been awhile since my last post but i was in the fire dept training center the past couple of mouths. needless to say im happy to be back!! but anyway i was changing my rims over to the snows for the winter and i noticed that the front upper ball joints are lose AND both rear wheels have alot of play from the upper control arm bushings, if thats not enough the rear carrier bushings are also shot. damn!!! my question is does daizen make bushings for all those areas and if so do u guys think its worth it??? i really love my car and i realize its a project car and im going to have to make repairs but im sure im looking at about $2000. if i do fix it i really want to upgrade while im at it. its a 91 ls400 with 220,000 miles and it runs good, i bought it for $4300 about a year ago. somebody or everybody give me your opinions. thanks!!!

Daizen currently has control arm bushings for the front, and are in the working stages for the rears, which will be available soon according to their website: http://www.daizensporttuning.com/pro..._bushings.html

There are a few members who have already installed the front control arm bushings on their 1st Gens with only positive reviews.

Front upper ball joint is not servicable. You'll need a new upper control arm for that.
