The thing that happened with me was, the inner fender well had been broken down at the bottom from a rock or something. It was never patched by the previous owner, so it had years of salt, sand, dirt and salt blown up into where the #2 bushing is. It was wrecked. The whole corner of the car was rusty, so I had to do some welding to fix the hole that went all the way into the passenger compartment. I'm glad that job is behind me, but changing the bushings totally changed how the car drove. I can't imagine doing any suspension upgrades without doing that job first. Not to mention the safety issues involved with having rusty bolts holding the body to the frame.
