Message	AGREED! I was using a spherical joint based adjustable setup that started going bad. Clunking around and whatnot. Researched EVERYTHING out there. And came to the conclusion that it's just not worth it. I installed the Bernie NISMO setup (stock arms painted with NISMO bushings installed), and adjusted with shims. I'll never look back and will not change these to anything else that can wear, loosen, clunk around, etc. And the ride/harshness when hitting bumps has improved over that old setup I had. Vinnie
