My car would sway back and fourth at wide open throttle, the higher the boost the worse it would be. It was an unsettling feeling, actually scary . Also we found toe links to be loose which we think was from the movement in the rear cradle
The issue presented after my turbo install and the boost was turned up.

Three of my buddy's cars had the same issue.

All cars 450 rwhp or better all cars have the same BMR trailing arm bushings.

Wasted a lot of time and money plus alot of agita, between alignments etc... Nothing worked. people were very helpfull and had a lot of ideas but nothing panned out until today. Jordan at jdp performance had an idea to try different bushings. I ordered the bushings. Installed them today and the car is fixed. She still spins but with the power it's to be expected but she goes straight again and is much safer. I'm going to have it aligned hopefully the last time for a while.

We went with pfadt outer trailing arm bushings which we found to be stiffer and larger plus the sleeve inside was larger as well.

Not trying to bash BMR At all I have BMR trailing arms toe links and subframe full poly subframe bushings which are all great quality which im very happy with. For our applications the pfadt bushings worked. Hope this is a help to anyone having the same issue.

Special thanks the Ted jannetty Cisco at newgen Jordan jdp motor sports and anyone who had given advice

Hey Mike,
Last fall at the car show at Dutchess Stadium I was talking with one of your buddies with a Vortech that was describing the issue you and he had. I mentioned that he should check his trailing arm bushings since mine were deforming and developed a gap causing similar issue for me. Then I see this posting. Glad you guys got it figured out.

Just to update, I took off my spindles to replace with the new ones with spherical bearings, and the sleeve straight fell out of the bushing with no force. Seems they are slightly undersize, after all, even though I never noticed a performance or traction problem.

Mine are installed...can't say I can feel a difference, but I didn't feel the problem before either (I'm making less power than you guys)...I put them in Saturday afternoon.

I bought mine 2/8/11. Is that about the same time everybody else did? Yeah when I lay into it the AZZ sways. So just call BMR or Email for best results?

TornadoSS · 05-06-2013, 06:11 PM

Replaced mine and that definitely fixed the side to side issue I was having under wot. Car launches and stays straight and rock solid now.

I agree. This issue has sold me on BMR products for the long haul. I already have a large chunk of their goodies on my car but in the future if I need anything else for this or another car I will be shopping at BMR 1st.
