Anything that can be done to keep the rear end centered underneath the vehicle during maneuvering will make the vehicle more stable. Control arms even though will make a NOTICEABLE difference that you can confirm with any member hear that has them they can only do so much, it is the Watts link that limits lateral movement and controls rear center alignment.

Besides a tune, Many believe replacing these two (sets) components are the single best most noticeable mod for the money that one can do.
I wrote it up last year year. Basically, you can feel the difference before you even turn they key... When you get in car and close the door. No shimmy, no waggle. Bank vault solid. The first driveway bump, gutter, and especially the first turn, you would swear you are in a completely different car.
I have one Marauder with these, and one without, waiting to be done... I have to be careful driving the without, after driving with. Without feels like the rear has a mind of its own and doesn't turn with the front of car. Weight pauses, "loads," waggels to outside, and then waggels back like standing in a canoe.
When the old parts come out, you will be offended by how they are made... Cheap stamped iron/metal. Unfathomable, and almost shameful in such a big heavy car.
I have to finish my taxes, and pay huge property tax by April 10th... And then I will be in on another set of each.

Not a dumb question, site shows 1 lower and 1 upper, I am sure others were thinking the same thing.

Just had to do it. The order is in. A great bang for the buck. Watts link & control arms in red. I only had Z&M control arms on my 1st Marauder & loved them. I now need them for my other Marauder.
