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...

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.

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!

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 ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 |

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! |

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. |

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.
