Default Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having problems wit the GXP, about 2yrs ago my car got hit hard in rear passenger tire. The past couple months i've had problems with rear vibration and it sways hard to the right when hitting the smallest bump. Its like a pretty hard jerk or shift in the rear.Wearing the hell out of rear tires.

So far I've replaced the sway bar which bent a little, replace the sway bar connector bars, took the eibach lowering springs off and went back to the factory springs, replace trailing arms, and replaced rear struts. All parts were new but springs and they have less than 15000 miles. It seems like it have gotten better but still doing it. I bought a BMR rear strut brace thinking it may help, (installing tomorrow) but I'm really lost and don't know what else to do.
The only other thing I could think of is remove the camber bolts and go back with stock bolt.

DO ANYBODY HAVE ANY INPUT ON WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO?

struts? or maybe you tweaked the uni-body some? body shop for diagnosis, pay for their opinion, it'll be worth it.

I agree. Your caster could have been knocked out significantly. Have a body shop check it out, and have an experienced tech check the alignment.
