If you cant drive it slammed ,then raise the car up or get a better suspension. your bushings could be worn out, and the radiator support wont affect it, just looks ugly. and struts bars help

Mostly good, but what makes you think it's slammed? A bent LCA will affect handling a lot. The only way to tell if it is bent is to raise the car and compare it to the other side or take it off and compare it to a brand new one.

do the measurements. in the back of the helms, there are measurement points you can measure from and determine if something is not right. there are many things that can make your car do what it is doing.

common. get the prothane replacement, it is much better than the energy bushing. if you want to go gangster, get the spherical ball, but its very noisy and harsh.
