Default rear end

I have posted manytimes about this. I have a 2001gt, and the driver side rear end sag's. I have put new shock's, also i installed the sportlines.When i take off really fast you can feel it jerk down on that side, and when i hit bumps it bounceson that side.Someone said toshake the control control arm to see if it sways back and forth,and it does when my car is not jacked up.I have hada few people just glance atit, but its nothingwrong with ityou can notice easily. Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy sitting sideways drivingdown the road.

It just feels like it's not stable when your driving down the road, like somethings broke on that side of the rear.

I know you had them checked but it has to be a worn control arm bushing thats the only thing that holds the rear inplace and stable when driving. sometimes they can be hard to tell that there bad

Default RE: rear end

each control arm has two bushings so a total of eight bushings. If i were you I'd just buy upgraded rear
control arms which should have better bushing already installed. and remove the quad shocks
when you install them. much easier then trying to remove all the bushings and install new ones which
can be a b**ch.

8 bushings just on the rear? Or is that the whole car?

Default RE: rear end

two are pressed into the rear housing. here's a bushing kit i believe it comes with all the bushings needed for the upper and lower control arms
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

or the entire control arm kit
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...w=32&N=700+

but i don't think it comes with the bushings that are in the axel housing.
