ESPECIALLY in the rear, the front is quite tight due to it getting new control arms and tierods, but the rear almost feels like its lifting in turns and wants to whip out, suspension mods are only koni shocks, h&r oe springs, and ground control rsms, could it be worn bushings in the rear? which should i replace? also i am looking for subframe / diff aftermarket support, any suggestions?

thanks, bud.

Powerflex E36/E46/Z4 Trailing Arm Toe Bushing is what i'd need, correct?

My subframe bushings were shot along with my RTABs. Replacing them has made a world of difference. No studder/disconnected feeling in the rear around corners. I also installed a TMS swaybar which flattened it out a bit.


EDIT: Just look for large cracks in the rubber on the subframe bushings. Mine had cracks that went all the way through.

rtab, subframe bushings and diff mount bushings, in addition to checking out those ball joints...
