QIK06T Member 39 Member For: 10y 7m 11d Gender: Male Posted 23/08/14 04:59 AM Share Posted 23/08/14 04:59 AM Hello gentleman,So after getting the 3 diff bushes replaced (with new superpro) on my recently purchased 07 BF2 XRT at Sydney suspension. I noticed that I still have a problem with the rear of the car, I was hoping it was due to bushes but apparently not.Before getting it done the car had the obvious worn diff bushes and the sound that accompanies it. But additionally, it would sway whenever I go over bumps.Now that the diff bushes are done I notice this swaying even more. Especially when on the highway. The best way to explain it is, there is a side-to-side fish tail sensation from the rear of the car. It's feels as if I'm towing something and it's slowly swaying the car from the back. I should also mention that you can only feel the sensation, you can't hear anything when it's actually swaying. It's very pronounced at speeds above 90km/h. I didn't realise I still had this problem until I hit the highway an hour ago, given I only got the bushes done yesterday.Was wondering what you blokes think is wrong with it. Is it common?CheersEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particular area's I would check are rear sway bar rubbers and rear link pins...There are other thigs which can cause this but this is where I would start! Good luck mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my (currently) all wheel steering car back and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 200,000km on the car at the time. Already had super pro bushes for a while at that stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
