Default question on bushings

i noticed that when i back my car up and turn the wheel my tires hop a little,at first i thought it was from my springs so i got a caster camber kit and had that done,it still does the same thing and this has been going on for a long time, but i think its from the cold weather, it doesnt do it in the summer, is this a common thing with stock bushings.

not sure that that's a bushing issue, sounds more like low-profile hard compound tires to me, does it do it after you've been driving long enough to get heat into the tires? It could be a non-issue, just the way the car is type of thing, but hopefully someone more knowledgable than me will chime in and confirm or correct me.

that would not be a bushing problem,im not 100 % fer sure on it, but im 98% sure its not a bushing problem,
is it only in reverse? left-right or both?

yeah only in reverse and both ways, i dont know about after the tires heat up because i forget about it in the summer and i havent driven it long enough lately to test it out,it could be the tire compound because there stock size tires.It feels like the tire is going to break off sometimes but ive never had a prob with handling,but i do need a bumpsteer kit. Like i said it only happens when its cold out,i'll have to remember to try it in reverse after ive been driving for a while.

this COULD be a transmission problem? because my transmission does it to, when i put it in reverse it jumps back. just a guess though :]

It could be a bushing problem, maybe a shock mount. Do you have an LSD in the rear? Are you running traction additive in it?
