Have my bushes gone? Car feels weird...
Hi Guys,
110k miles, lowered on links with 19s
Just had a wheel allighment done as car is driving straight (Finally!!)
However, every time I accelerate hard it feels like the car dips down and pulls left rather than straight ahead....seems like rear axel bushes to me but wanted to confirm...
Has this happened to anyone? And can the be fitted DIY?
In addition to this the steering also feels very 'loose' every time I hit a pot hole or a small bump, and seems to sway in which ever way it wants unless I hold the wheel tight.....Are these problems linked or is something not right up front too?
Any ideas or thoughts would be great as driving it like this right now gives me no happiness!!
thanks in advance!

Evosport toe links are also a good investment.

Much of the issues is rear toe. The car exhibits too much toe OUT using factory hardware. Our toe links, even at factory alignment settings, will mitigate much of this problem by offering greater stability to the rear end and reduced toe change on load.
