PB Spray is like WD-40 on steroids. Any Kragen/Pep Boys/etc. should have it.

Look for this can:

installed them today in about a half an hour, the bolt were so hard to loosen even with the PB spray i broke a socket trying to loosen them,,, cut my head on the rear diff lol, turn my head right into the corner of it

but the back end is like on rail road tracks its crazy stiff, the back end doesnt lift at all, and oversteer is hella hard to induce

amazing bang for the buck

they align the rear so the wheels stay staight during hard cornering. It prevents the subframe from shifting around. Grant it, if you just plow your car into a turn, you won't notice much. Drive like you would on the track, nice and smooth, you will notice a great improvement.
