Just went through this. I bought a used 94GT as a Father & Son project and when we were changing the stock springs for FRPP 5300-C springs we found an issue. The control arm bushings were completely destroyed and the puzzling part is they were rubber. Not only is rubber bad but it was cheap inferior rubber to boot.
I contacted Summit, sent them pictures and they claim that nobody has complained. I Googled and read reviews on Summit where a few people have claimed bushing failure. Please send summit the pictures as I just sent mine a few weeks ago. Most people just replace them and don't bother in showing Summit the issue. Here is the email to use

Summit would not stand behind their product an admit fault or even send out replacement poly bushings. They told me I could buy the bushing kit for their
control arms for $93.00. I was shocked, the entire upper / lower control arm set is like $159 but just the bushings are $93.00? They said that's all they can offer.
I wound up making my own polyurethane bushings for now. In a few months I'm going to set fire to these and replace with the Steeda Upper / Lower control arm set that I had on my previous 94.
You can see how I made the bushings in our Father & Son videos.
