2006 mustang gt

Ok guys I have a question that maybe you can help me with... my mustang has started riding rough so I'm going to replace the shocks on it but it also feels like it goes side to side or it sways in the rear end... would that be my control arms do I need new ones or just replace the bushing...certain parts of the road makes my car feel like it's going back and forth from side to side just a little.. what all could it be.... and in the front when I hit bumps it has a clunking noise....I replaced the sway bar end links and outer tie rods and the struts.... should I just go through it and check all bushing... any help will be appreciated thank you

That's what I would do go through it pretty good and go from there. Always better to replace something small and save the other money for the big investment on the car

I'm just buying a bushing kit for my car.. it has every bushing in it even the shifter bushing...I know none of them has ever been changed and the car sit in a driveway for a year or so without being drove so they ALL need replaced....

I hope that fixes her up for you. It sucks playing the guessing game. I am usually wrong, but get some good replacement parts that way. At least you get pick them
