Rear End Walk
Hello everyone,
Recently, I have been experiencing the rear end scooting out about 1/2" when going through turns on the freeway at 65 mph then griping like normal again. I am suspecting the rear subframe bushings are shot. Can anyone confirm this being a common side effect of blown subframe bushings?
For anyone who is wondering, the differential bushing has been replaced with an SPL unit.
Thanks in advance!

What rear camber arms do you have? I had a problem with bushings having too much clearance causing a "loose' rear end sway feeling. Took off the rear Kinetix camber arms, returned to OEM arms, problem was resolved for me.

Good news!
After taking the car to Specialty Z here in SoCal, they discovered that every single piece of SPL suspension components were jacked up by whoever touched them last. So much so that there were rods an arms not even properly bolted down! Who did the damage? Well, that would be the last alignment shop I went to (you know, the ones for "normal" cars).
After having everything fixed by the shop, I went in for a proper alignment at West End Alignment and the car drives spectacularly now! My wheel is straight for the first time in 6 years and the driving dynamics of the car are superb. Case in point, prior to having everything addressed and fixed, I was never able to roll on throttle in a corner. Now I can roll on the throttle before the apex without worrying about my impending doom. Haha!
Thanks to all of you for your input and for taking the time to reply!
