Okay so I plan on going to add sway bar bushings as well, since I have the Comp G with FE3 suspension, what size bushings do I need?
Moog has three types, .80", 1.18", and another for 1.34" suspension.
.80" = 20mm
Would that size be for both the front and rear sway bars?Quote:

Yep saw the link. I know that the rears will need the 20m or the .80' but I still dont know what size I need for the fronts in terms of what Moog has to offer. So is it the 1.18' or the 1.34" for the front?Quote:

For front and rear it's $40 shipped thru their website or Amazon. Oreillys and Advance have them.
You would need the .80 for the front, hopefully it doesn't bind. 1.18 would be for the Dorman 30
Since I will be doing all of this, I think I am going to change the motor mounts to both the engine and the transmission.
Which parts to you guys recommend and do I need two engine mounts for both right and left sides for both the transmission and the engine?
Get solid mounts. You need a motor mount and trans mount
That sounds good, so I will be needing only two mounts one for transmission another for the motor?Quote:

Share the link or model number here if you know it.
You have a transmission mount (driver side) and a motor mount (passenger side). Then you have your upper dog bone mounts. Probably don't need to mess with those. So you sir need a total of two mounts.
As for the transmission mount and motor mount, just shop around, brand doesn't matter a whole lot with those. BUT if you do order solid ones, shake them and listen to them. Some of the "solid mounts" still come hydraulic. Try rockauto that's where I bought mine, and you can get a 5% off which usually pays to ship them.
Thanks for the info Brandon.Quote:

Besides the annoyingly placed Power Steering Pump, Plastic Cooling Elbows, PITA accessible rear spark plugs, and tons of leaks this engine is known for, this is positive thing to know.
Plus I get to save money in buying two parts instead of four.
To help with solid mount stuff you could flip your dogbones if you haven't already for less engine movement for free

Or just get poly for the square mounts..

UPDATE: The first half of the parts have arrived.
Purchased a pair or tie rod ends, front sway bar links, and control arms for the front hal of the car. trailing arms, rear sway bar links, transmission/engine mounts will come later.
One thing I am abit disappointed with is that I ordered the tie rods and sway bar links listed and pictured as Moog parts. The part number was even Moog. The listing brand was listed as Moog/ASP private label
I bought both sets for under $50 with free shipping and it turns out they are aftermarket. In the small fine print it says "parts are not exactly as pictured" However, when the parts arrived they seemed much stronger than my current stock setup and feel very sturdy. I have a 1 year warranty for all of the parts.
The really good news is the control arms I got on eBay are original AC Delco parts and I got both for $65 with free shipping. It was an auction and I was the second bidder. Buy it Now was $100 but I won the auction which started at $50.
Should have the parts soon. The second half of the parts for the engine/transmission mounts, rear trailing arms, and rear sway bar links installed later on when I have them purchased.
Here is what i got so far.
