Can you tell me how many bushings and which ones I should get? Max Merritt lists a bunch of bushings and I'm not sure which ones I really need for this job. Thanks!
Unless you wanna throw everything but the kitchen sink at it, that's a question that can only be answered by first-person inspection of the actual vehicle. Parts book illustrations (see Plates 31G and 32B) show you where to find them in the application listings (by Group number), which - in turn - show how many per car.
Instead of supplying individual parts, know that some vendors put front-end kits together, which include many more parts than just the eight control arm rubber bushings - upper and lower inner, RH-LH.
However, you'll still need to spec out the bushings for the rear supports arms, if needed. If you remove the rear axle U-bolt nuts, you may find that those bushings - upper and lower - need replaced, as well.
BTW, there's also a frame-mounted bushing about midway along each of the main torsion bars.
Then, though they may not be causing your current problem, there are bushings for stabilizer bars - front and rear - to consider.
It's another case of "in for a penny, in for a pound".
