anyone got any suggestions for Gen 2 suspension bushing kits?

Decades ago I saw "suspension rebuild" kits in the JC Whitney catalogs. Now I just order whatever parts I need individually- OE if I can or maybe Moog if I can't.

Usually I try to figure out the cause of any noises before replacing things. Sway bar bushings and links can rattle a bunch. Stand next to the driver's door and push/pull the top edge of the door and roof (door closed) to get the car rocking sideways. If there's a sway bar problem it'll show up then.

imo most suspension components don't need to be as finely machined as a lot of other parts...I would just use whatever has a kit at a good price with good reviews from moog/dorman/detroit axle or whatever. And because of the cost and hassle of taking parts to a machine shop to have bushings pressed in and out, I almost always just replace the whole component. EG replace the whole control arm when you need a new bushing on that. And since this means alignment anyway, you might as well replace both sides at once.
