There are a few threads currently active on this very topic right here. Without telling anyone of any symptoms or issues - how are we to answer?

Being an older car, any rubber bushing that can be replaced is what I would look at. Energy Suspensions makes full bushing kits. I have it on my SVTF.

The most important will always be the ones with the greatest degree of deflection loads seen during racing conditions. Usual culprits for cars are lower control arms inner bushings. Though, if you read the current discussions on it, the CT9A has spherical bearings in some of these locations.

Since the Evo5 may be different, we cant really tell you what is the weak link. On an VIII and IX its the rear trailing arm bushing and front control arm inner bushing that make the greatest difference.
