Bushings – I’d probably buy brand-new to save the shop work. Are there bushing kits out there with all the required bushings?
Sorry for all the questions…. Some of these items just caught me off guard..

Consensus here seems to be OEM-only for the lower ball joints and the bolts.
My understanding on the radiator is if it’s older than about 10 years old and if the plastic changing color from a black to a brown or olive, just replace it. Internals break down. Cheap insurance against the strawberry milkshake. I’m not clear if fluid flushes help prolong the rad life or not.
Energy Suspension sells bushings kits (if you want to go poly instead of rubber). I don’t know about rubber since I went poly.
