Default 8 total in the front. The rears are not as big of a problem, as they are steel...
with replaceable bushings instead of non-replaceable balljoints like up fornt.

Default Thanks. The gauge is mounted outside.....
Some people have said they don't like it, but guess what? It's my car, so I'm going to do what I want

Are lower rear two control arms the same if you have aluminum or steel uprights?
