I replaced the following on my 85 Carrera with OEM components at around 90K miles:
  • Front A-arm bushings (using Elephant Racing bushing tools)
  • Front sway bar bushings
  • Turbo tie rods (you probably have these already)
  • Rear sway bar bushings
  • Rear drop links
  • Engine mounts
  • Transmission mounts

Also replaced the factory Boge strut inserts/shocks with Koni yellow adjustables.

Made it drive like new.

The main improvements came from the front sway bar bushings and engine/trans mounts.
