Default Sloppy rear control

Adding to the growing list of irritating issues, I may have to replace my rear control arm bushings.

Are aftermarket options available (or worth it?). Google and forum searches do not give any definitive answers.

Anyone with any gems of wisdom to share please do so.

Thanks in advance.!

Hmmm.. No one's been down this road? I was really hoping to not risk being a 'trail-blazer' on this one.

Make sure the assembly of the LCA pin is correct and tight.

also make sure the LCA rear lower eccentric is torqued properly 140 ft/lbs,
if you didnt put in new bushings at this location,
then you will feel the rear sort of steer in another direction after lifting off the gas after a full throttle application.
Follow Bills advise as well,
and make sure you have the beveled washers in the correct locations there are 2 per side

Ok .. That picture helps a-lot . The next question would have been about that Gap.

I will be doing the rear control arm bushings soon. Assuming factory replacement parts are the best?
