Message	Which you could surmise is why they are not included in the "master kit", but have to be bought separately. I remember someone here installed the control arm bushings and hated the results. I have installed the "master kit" on two Z's now and wouldn't hesitate putting them on a 3rd. The effect is very subtle and I think the biggest benefit is the durability vs rubber....and the elimination of wheel hop during wheel spin. Very worthwhile effort IMHO given the cost.
