Suspension issue again HELP!
 
I had posted my last suspension nightmare a few months ago that turned out to be a trailing arm bushing now another issue awesome ( Ty again JDP )

My car had slight bump steer for a while wasn't too bad hitting bumps and going around curves the car would shimmy kind of like wobble back and fourth motion like a sway

Anyway took the car to Detroit and back for Bbomg5 now the car is 100 times worse cars moving a lot out on the road def not cool.

The car
1SS 76 mil turbo
Pfadt springs 1.25 drop
Sphon tunnel brace
BMR trailing arms
BMR toe rods
BMR full poly subframe bushings
9 inch forgestars 11 inch rears
Pfadt sway bars front and rear
Stock end links
Cars alignment is perfect tire pressures fine
Not a balancing issue bc them it would vibrate and shake

Is it the poly subframe bushings ? i have heard they move.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Do you have the adjustable BMR toe rods?

When I had issues like you are stating, it was the toe rods loosened causing the toe to be really off...to the point you couldn't drive it...

No I have the non adjustables

But the toe is fine alignment is perfect
I plan to check all the bolts as well
Thnx

It is very unlikely that the rear cradle bushings are creating the issue you are having. The BMR rear cradle bushings are a physically large bushing and they would have to wear considerably to create the symptoms you are having and I honestly just don't see that happening with them since there is very little movement when they are installed in the rear cradle. I would inspect the bushings in the toe rods and trailing arms and make sure there isn't any unwanted movement. I would also look at the rear sway bar and make everything looks kosher there. Once you narrow it down a little bit more let us know what you find.

Sway bar is fine springs are seated right as well
Trailing arm bushings have been replaced already from the last issue

Sounds like something is loose or possibly an end link disconnected? I would climb under there and start by putting a wrench on every nut and bolt you can get to. Keep us updated!

Ill try that as soon as time allows ,
The rear end links are fine the fronts I'm pretty sure are as well

If something's loose that's an issue as well why would that happen ?

It can happen from time to time if you did not use loctite during the install.

Interested in this... I do also have an elusive alignment issue after installing my full BMR suspension kit, BMR rear tie rods, and trailing arms. I'm lowered on LG springs and have LG sway bar and endlinks.

To be fair, the issue became noticeable when I upgraded to the LG Z28 20x10F, 20x11R wheels. I think the weight of the wheels and tires may be "stretching" the suspension a bit. I just bought a bumpsteer correction kit today that replaces the front/outer tie rod.

I'm getting deflection under hard acceleration and braking. The car also tends to tramline quite a bit on uneven roads. Tires are 275F and 315R.

Good luck!

The size and weight of the wheels will effect the suspension a bit but it shouldn't be as noticeable as you are saying. Have you gotten under the car and inspected everything to make sure nothing is loose or looks out of place.

With the new wheels/tires that have the bigger contact patch I am not surprised that you are noticing it tramline a bit more than it previously was with the factory wheels/tires.

Thanks Kyle - I'm also going to likely do a full inspection of all the bushings since I'm wondering is something wasn't torqued all the way.

Thanks!

No problem, it is hard to do anything but guess until you get up under the car and dig around a little bit. Let us know what you find.
