bushings 700 1989

On your bushings, it varies depending on your driving style, the nature of the roads you travel, if you keep the front end aligned etc. Usually the control arm and strut rod bushings (where they join the frame) last a long time. I just changed all my front bushings and these were all OK even after 180,000. The wear is usually in the strut rod "stay" or "cone" bushings where the strut rod joins the control arm. Mine were trashed. Also, the two sway bar bushings at the frame and the 8 small sway bar "link" bushings wear out fairly quickly. These were also junk on my car. For the clips, try looking at the HELP! products that a lot of the auto parts stores carry, a junkyard or ( last resort) dealer.
