Has anyone had any luck with urethane bushings? I have been toying around with the Daystar itemt that you push into stock control arms for about five years, and cannot seem to get it just right. I've even spoken to their tech, explained my problem, and he was stumped. I love the way the car steers and handles, but just don't hit a bump. I think I discovered the birthplace of Death Wobble. What it boils down to is the steel sleeve inside the bushine- it needs to be about 1/16'" shorter on each side, so that when you tighten the bolt, the bushing material will have the proper squash as the sleeve contacts the sides of the mount.
What I'd like to know is, does anyone know of or could recommend an aftermarket control arm that is stock length- I believe it is 15'' upper, 15.75 lower (center to center), pre-made with the stiffer bushings glued in, like the factory ones? I have new stockers in now, and the jiggling is gone, but so is the sharp steering. All other pasts are new or recently replaced, so my problem truly is suspension, as opposed to steering parts.
Sorry about the long ramble, but I look foreward to any ideas or suggestions....Thanks, Ray
