I just wanted to thank you for posting this, though I was crazy…

I've been trying to solve this exact issue with my car for a while now… where setting the car on fire was becoming an attractive option.

the issue you described is exactly what I'm experiencing.
Replaced every single bushing in the rear, all BMR poly bushings.
the cradle “step out” under heavy load was fixed by the Cradle bushing. (Became intolerable when I turbo the car)
but the "bump steer" like issue is driving me NUTS!!

unfortunately there is no more PFADT to replace my BMR trailing & Toe arms. any advice on what other company to go for?
did your buddys car performed well after you replaced the new BMR bushings?

I have BMR trailing arms and toe links and so far no issues. Take a look at the FMT LLC toe rod and trailing arms if you like the Pfadt design. Google FMTLLC and you'll find it. Or wait til AFE resurrects the Pfadt lineup.

BMR redesigned their bushings and if you call them, I believe they'll replace them for free.

We also have our house brand available if you're interested.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Thanks you guys for the feedback.

I replaced the bushings this weekend.
I have to admit they did not look as bad as I thought they would be.
there was a slight oval shape to them but very minimal, the metal pin was loose do. it would come off the bushing on its own.
new bushings went in tight, got the alignment checked and corrected.
I'm so freaking happy!!

I feel comfortable pushing the car on the corners.

JDP Tyler,

I'll PM you for the rest of the bushings I'm interested in replacing.
