UMI does have good stuff. I've got their adjustable endlinks for the front sta-bar on the Mustang.
A shot of WD-40 (wiping off the excess) every once in a while keeps them moving smoothly, and after about 4 years (4 winters) they're still dead quiet. Seals-it may have something to provide a little protection for the sphericals against the elements for things like LCAs.

You are definitely not alone, my garage is full of things I should be doing but haven't because I overthink it. And even after I've done all my research and get my parts together doubt creeps in and I start thinking I should have gone a different route. Anyway, looks like you got everything you need, got to set a goal, mine is to have the olds back together for OC in October and I haven't even gotten my parts yet. Time to kick myself in the ass and get on with it.

Up close and personal with the UMI Performance rear suspension pieces....
The UMI Performance "Roto Joint" for the rear end housing bushing.
and their billet front sway bar mount....pretty sweet.

This makes me feel better knowing I'm also not alone! I too overthink to the point of second guessing myself, even if it's something I've done before with success. Originally Posted by Olds502
