Default Bushings

I was checking out my car after hearing some strange noises on right hand turns and noticed that the rear most bushing on the left front lca has a ton of slop.

So I'm going to replace those bushings (and maybe others), and since this is my alternate autox/track car I'm considering some Powerflex purples. Don't want the car to be superhard as it's my daily, just new to these cars so wondering if anyone has any thoughts?

Thanks

Just installed the Powerflex purples yesterday. Huge favorable difference. Hugs curves beautifully, though it should as they're 30% stiffer.

While you're at it, do the differential as well. Garagistic has the 80A diff for $40 plus tax/shipping.

Thanks for the feedback Mathieu, I ordered some rubbers yesterday as I hadn't heard anything and it's also a daily, but will consider for the future. Cheers.
