I assume you were reading my posts.
There was a change in mid-year 1995 from VIN# S2010071 and on. Check yours. I'm not sure if this was really and "upgrade" for ride quality, or a way to make the bushings last longer.
Anyhow, you are looking at several hundred dollars to change over and I doubt the benefits would justify the costs. I calculated roughly $500 per side plus the anti-roll bar (see below)
What they did is changed both front control arms on each side, as well as the anti-roll bar, moving the attachment of the anti-roll bar from the rearward control arm to the forward control arm. They also changed the rearmost bushing to a beefier one....this is the one which is responsible for so many of us with vibrating steeringwheels at 60-65mph when it gets a little worn. BUT this bushing only costs $14.00!! For that price I'll change it every 50K rather than change the entire suspension over (the new bushing is $30.00+)
Hope this makes sense.
