adjusting a completely rebuilt linkage?



I'd like to hear how the kit holds up, ive found that the stock rubber 
bushings feel GREAT for the first few hundred miles, but then quickly 
deteriorate to being a little sloppy, but not bad.  If this can hold up 
better, then I think Ill have to get it.
