Default EG loose front end..Any solutions?

Hey all of you that have EG Civics know what I'm talking about...the wandering steering wheel...you catch a dip in the road and the car wanders off to one side or another...how do you solve this problem?
Larger sway bar, Z10 radius rods, etc..Let me know what you did to get rid of this annoying trait of these cars.
Thanks
Jay

I'm pretty sure it's the bushings in the upper conrtol arm. Stick a long screwdriver or a small pry bar there and you'll be shocked at the amount of compliance in those rubber pieces. I'm quite sure it's allowing camber change of 2-3 degrees and toe in/toe out of up to 1/4" overall.

I have the energy suspension pieces to replace them. After my ES RLCA nightmare though, I'm weary of getting involved in this project again. I've been trying to get my hands on a pair of FUCA brackets to I can have the bushings pressed out of, but no wrecking yard has been willing to part out the arm and the bracket and i'm not shelling out $65 per side when I only need a small part of that assembly. If anyone has a pair, BRACKETS ONLY, tell me how much!
