Looking into a replacing the spherical bearing's on the rear LCA's and knuckle and looking for pictures and observations on the setup? (search didn't yield any discussion)

My questions wasn't as much pertaining to a provider of these items as much as looking for pictures and other end user observations. I've reviewed the product line up with Steeda, BMR, and FTB.
 
does the gt350 have bearings in both rear LCA locations? If it has the bushing in the forward location like the GT, then definitely do it. Probably the best rear suspension mod I've done as it makes the back so much more predictable. Those two mounting points are also so far out of plane that bearings help with articulation/ease of movement too.

My advice is to spend time researching the details and nuances of replacing them. I just did mine and they are a PITA if doing them for the first time. I am partway through making a write-up of my experiences with tips to post at the 6g forum.

PITA is charitable lol.

I had the use of a pro shop and knew what I was doing...but it still bordered on dry proctology.
