how do you know its worn out? and energy susp. makes urethane bushings to go in place of the factory ones. just take the spring off the strut. no need to replace it all

if its squeaking when your driving then most likely its the lower control arm bushings. not so much the strut bushings. and yea if you replace the strut bushings you have to take apart the struts, which means removing the springs from all 4. do you have stock rear lower control arms?

when you put the lcas back on did you compress them before tightening the bolts? ya know jacking up the trailing arm to preload the springs before setting the car down

wow..how much was that? my guess is no they didnt preload the suspension, woulda been way easier and cheaper to buy some new lcas with urethane bushings already in them.
