Not a question really - I just wanted to let everyone know that replacing these bushings makes a HUGE difference on the way that my 63 handles & steers. When I was thinking of buying the car (a month ago) I read that this was a common problem that A body cars experience. It's hard to diagnose, because the arms don't move until you are driving (go ahead and check the slop manually at 35MPH).

I had mine replaced when I had the brakes redone: new brake pads, cylinders, lines, rear seals, master cylinder... Plus front shocks, ball joints and Upper Control Arm Bushings.
