My indy says that I need front guide rod joints (track rod ball joint). How do I know if the big round subframe bushings need to be replaced? The rubber looks ok but since I will have to take the bracket off to replace the joint with the mounting kit, should I replace the rubber subframe bushing also? I would rather not beacause they are about $20 each and looks like a pain to do (from looking at some of the searches and pics).

My indy was going to check all the suspension stuff but as usual my car sat there for two days and I finally came and got it because i need my ride! He was supposed to do the shut off valve also. Looks like I may attempt that also. This is why I try to do my own work beacause It takes them so damn long.
