Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.

Maybe the control arm broke? I know the control arm tab on one of my LCA's broke where the endlink hooks up and the car wabbled all over the place. Looking under the car real quick it looked fine till I inspected the control arm.

Just ordered most of my parts just need time to get them installed
Car ran great at the track but it still does it
Cold days it's worse too wot run just let off the gas after the waste gates opened up and it did it really bad

Ordered
Pfadt toe rods trailing arms upper control arm bushings thanks so much Jordan @ jdp motorsports

To pull the whole car apart and not replace the subframe bushings seems silly so I'm saving some money going to change it all out and hopefully get past this

Just a random thought, did you retime bushings when you dropped it?

No we didn't time the bushings
The car was dropped more than a year before this started happening and it was fine so I didn't think it's related

Finally got the new parts installed pfadt trailing arms and toe links then had it aligned the car is finally right

The prev bushings look to be the cause,when we took them out they were pretty loose. We had it aligned a ways back and had no improvement. The suspension was moving still. Now with the new parts its solid as a rock .

I have to give a huge thnx to Cisco from newgen customs ny and Jordan from jdp motorosports. Jordan was spot on in his analysis and Cisco spent a lot of time checking the car out. Def above and beyond.

Very happy as the car was close to being set on fire

Final verdict the poly subframe bushings are fine the bushings in the original suspension parts were the issue. To BMRs credit they sent me replacement bushings which will go into a buddy's car up here in NY. Long annoying issue is over.

So in conclusion? The BMR subframe inserts were faulty?

I don't have insets I have full poly subframe bushings which are fine.
The bushings in the trailing arms and toe links was where issue came from. They were bmr parts and bmr sent me replacements which I'm thankful for. But I've gone with pfadt arms and toe links
