Installing bump steer kit, what else while i am there?

Like the title says, i am putting in a whiteline front bumpsteer kit and was wondering what are some other fairly easy things to replace while i have my front suspension apart. I was thinking the Perrin Anti Lift Kit (PSRS) but that might be a bit more labor intensive (Anyone know labor cost for this btw?).

Can anyone recommend some bushings to replace that are in the neighborhood that are not labor intensive?

You mean dust shields? I dont think there are any heat sources around that area.

The brakes put off a good amount of heat. You can most likely find pics of the Whiteline dust boots melted on the forum somewhere.

PS I assume you mean roll center correction kit. The bump steer goes in the rear.

Damn, i must be confused. From the description of "bump steer" i thought it was the front wheels that are effected by it the most (loosing traction when hitting imperfections in the road and thus pushing straight instead of turning).
But i am sure i want to get rid of that because i can feel how the car wants to push straight (understeer) when i make a hard turn on a crappy surface.

So if its the back then i might want to do a rear swaybar, i am just afraid of snap overseer. I heard a stiff aftermarket bar might cause this.
Basically i want the car to keep that natural OEM balance where its easy for newbs to control.

Learn the car stock first. Then worry about handling upgrades. FWIW, a lot of guys run the stock rear bar. You don't have to get a huge one anyways. Numerous adjustable bars out there. Do some searching.

How labor intensive is the Whiteline Steering Precision Kit and the
Whiteline Front control arm bushing to install??
