My car feels kinda like it's getting small steering inputs from the rear while freeway cruising on smooth and level stretches. I'm figuring that it's the trailing arm bushings (probably original). I guess it could also be a twitchy alignment, or just me getting used to a real sports car again.
How can I check the TA bushings for play without major disassembly? If they're bad, I'm probably going with Mueller bearings. Mueller, where are the rear bearings available? I checked them out once with a link in your signature file, but that link's gone now... Thanks, Eric |

On a lift, push to and fro on the tire........you will see the TA moving at it's piviot point.

I'm out of stock right now....Tarett Engineering has some in stock
if the bushings are that bad, you should be able to jack the car up and check by grabbing the end of the t/a and shaking it.... |

I wouldnt have except there were a couple of them in just that one post. So I figured you were either slipping or illiterate. Knowing you, I assumed the first. |
