Seem to be getting some "tail wag"..

Lately I've noticed when I go over imperfections in the road, I can feel my rear axle moving around quite a bit. It makes the whole back end of the car do a wiggly.

Is this most likely from worn quad shocks? or are the bushings in the lower control arms probably starting to go? I've heard that you can delete the quad shocks if you use a quality LCA...

What LCAs are you guys using? and how do you feel about them? I know Jazzer has his wonderful write up, just curious as to what you guys have found as far as your opinions on the quality and such of the ones you are using.

My old GT "wiggled" like you're describing. Ended up being completely shot UCAs.

Time for new bushings. Pretty easy fix.

I'll get it up on the lift tomorrow and do some more looking.. I've been thinking about upgrading the rest of the suspension back there anyways...

I know you already have the other thread going about this... at least I think I just replied in another one of your threads about LCAs. Anyway I'll reiterate that upgraded control arms are a huge improvement, and yes, if you upgrade your upper and lowers, you can ditch the quad shocks.
