I've got the entire front suspension apart (went ehaead and put in my new struts and '87s) so I'm also replacing all of my UCA/LCA and strut bushings with "prothane" ones. They feel pretty dang solid, and hold tight without making a peep. Found out all ball joints have busted boots, so popping those out and replacing them as well since they have lifetime warrantee.

I feel you....did the complete front rebuild, including all your talking about, plus diff, plus sway bar bushings. Rides like a new truck...as it better, since all the parts are new....lol. Did you get sucked into the sand blast and paint thing like I did? Its a sickness
