I wouldn't throw any more parts at it. If your alignment is good( im sure it is) then there isn't much anyone can do on here besides guess. It's gonna take someone getting the car on a lift and checking everything. Subframe, bushings, make sure no tabs are broke and all bolts are tight and nothing is bent,check tires, make sure springs are in right. If I could not find anything wrong after double checking then I would start with shocks,springs. Most anything else would be able to been seen if something was wrong. Sucks for sure and I hope you get it all worked out. If you were down here in the south we could get it on a lift etc.. And figure it out.

1969to2010 · 07-18-2012, 08:03 AM

Well the tires I know it isn't it did this with stock tires and my current tires as well

It didn't do this before the cradle was dropped and the boost turned up from 5 to 7 lbs so I'm thinking it's the extra power or something is loose in the cradle . But seeing how the car is going up on a lift anyway I'm going invest in new toe links because the stock toe links are weak as well as the rubber bushings plus I need to replace my drop springs due to the droop rate issue so the car will be apart anyway and toe links aren't that much $$$

Just hope it's done by time for bbomg in a few weeks

How would i know if one of the tabs are bent? Mine has done this since i dropped the cradle to...everything looks tight and well...one screw looks like it shift a little tho..but the bushing is still intact ..there solid ones...

adjustable Toe rods are a nice up grade and for sure something you need anyways. This was a Common problem in 4th gens including one of the ones i had and the fix alot of time was sway bar or shocks. In your case I would also think its something to do with the cradle and my guess is that you will find something if you look real good.

I would look anywhere it bolts together and make sure nothing it cracked, broke off or structure bent. The more power you got with the stock chassis and suspension the more movement your gonna get. Alot of the aftermarkets parts are made because the stock stuff it prone to break and move alot more. The stronger parts make the car stronger and more stable and consistent. As far as the bushing it anything about it doesnt look right i would check it real good.

jeffny09 · 07-18-2012, 08:59 AM

So that means i have to drop the rear cradle again i assume?
Oo and my bushings r not stock!

jeffny09 · 07-18-2012, 09:09 AM

But of the tab was broke..would the subframe.have s oittle freeplay? I tryed messing with it and.it wouldnt budge at all...amd lets just say the tab is broke...how would it get fixed

Yes I do but I had them before I added the adjustable toe rods, trailing arms, and lower control arms. I am taking it in on Friday to get it re-aligned and will get a print out of before and after. The shop I used before didn't provide me with any of this.
