Suspension Bushings - Who needs 'em

Car had a mind of it's own when rolling into right hand corners. It decided turn in rate was not sufficient and would add some of it's own Made for interesting driving in the mountains

I heard that replacemant is a *****, but........,

This one just fell out. Well, replaced the trailing arm and I'm ready for you Red Beard!!!!!

Great... now that's one more thing for the list I need to check. Those look pretty sad. Mine gets all squirrelly with the steering full lock in one direction or the other, where the wheel actually goes the last 1/4 turn or so until full lock and stays there, so I think the front end needs work.

Take a look at buying a set of bearings instead of bushings.
