Finally got the cradle bushings installed. What a bitch. I didn't realize how massive these bushings were until I held them. I beveled the edge of the pin to help it slide into the bushing. Tight fit.

The cradle bushings alone made a huge difference! Under power, the rear was twisting causing the car to steer itself towards the curb. Now with the new bmr bushings, it just goes straight. Still spins some, but it goes straight. Money well spent.

Moving onto toe rods and trailing arms. Trying to decide if I should spend the extra cash on the adjustable arms/rods or not. I've never been to the drag strip, so I doubt I will need the ability to adjust the toe...

Anyone see a reason I need the adjustable stuff?
