for a 30 year old car that has the original bushings on the lca's they are probably shot. your lca's are coated in rust. you can buy new bushings and pay a machine shop $50 to press them in on both sides, or you can do the smart thing and buy new lca's with brand new bushings, and have a mechanic replace them or do it yourself if you have the right compression. kill two birds with one stone, for cheaper in $ and time than painting over old stuff and being stuck with 30 year old bushings.

just sayin
