PROBLEMS WITH CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS
I have Steeda Lower Control arms on my 05 GT and make 468RWHP. I recently broke my posi and after installin a new one, I still noticed significant fishtail and a 'clumping' noise when I stepped on it. After problem solving for 1/2 day, we discovered both bushings on both sides were completely shot. I called Steeda and was told that this happens when the installer uses too much grease on the bushings when installing them. I asked what 'too much grease' was and they told me that you are only supposed to use a 'droplet' on the tip of your finger.
They seemed to be well aware of this problem and wondering if anyone else has had control issues that may be attributed to these bushings? I had to replace them and Steeda replaced them at no cost. (which was cool of them) I considered aluminum, but I have been told it destroys your ride..any comments on that also?
