It's talked about somewhere else on the forum, but as you replace OEM bushings with stiffer pieces (especially spherical bearings) it really highlights what your dampers are doing. Pretty much everything will feel a
little more harsh...not always that bad but if using shocks that have some bigger deficiencies those will be highlighted. Or you may have to do some extra shock tuning if you have that capability.
That plus you have to make sure your using
high quality bearings. If driving in wet/salty/dirty conditions you'll need to replace the bearings a little sooner. They'll last longer with rubber booties. If it's a control arm with adjustable rod ends, it's pretty easy and cheap to service.
