Default Spitting bushings!!

I seem to be spitting bushings out of my control arms on a regualr basis! I get about three to four launches before they start to go. I was spitting the rear bushings but went to a solid end link on that side. Now I'm spitting the front bushings!![:@]

We're going to install LCA's with solid end links on both sides and weld out the tourque box (it's just spot welded from the factory). We are also going to install the BMR extreme roll control and a swar bar. Hopefully we can resolve this problem.

Has anyone else run into this?

I doubt anyone else has run into this... Most of us dont have anywhere near 630 at the rear wheels! Not a terrible problem to have, huh?

Well I just got off the phone with BMR a little while ago. Their engineers are looking at it. He said with my 60 foot this should not be happening. The only problem is that I think this is why I can't get my 60' below 1.7!!![:@]
