Default Cusco A-arm bushings?

Does anyone know if they make urethane bushings for these? Ever since I put these arms in my front end seems "twitchy", picks-up more road irregularities.

Check the amount of toe-in you have. I would bet you almost have toe-out.

You could be correct. I followed Nissan's tire feathering corrective action and have the toe set @ .01

I was just talking to a Cusco distributor who was also familiar with alignment procedures. He also recommended that I try putting more toe in the front. He said that the Cusco bushings are a very firm rubber and shouldn't be causing what I feel. Also there are no upgrade bushings.

I have the Cusco A arms & don't have this problem. My front toe is set at .05 inches in.

I've got to replace a bushing in one of my rear camber arms. After that is done I'll have it re-aligned and bring the toe to .04 which is the middle of the spec range and see how it feels.
