Turns out my left front tire is "out of round" and the aftermarket trac bar and trailing arms already have worn out joints. No fix for that. Do any of you guys have spare trailing arms with the bushings? New they are 141 bucks a piece.

I have a set of trailing arms with the delrin ball/pivot/polyurethane front bushing....less than 500 miles on them. $100 if ya want them. I went to adjustable arms when we swapped in the new rear.
EDIT: Looks like prices on these have come down, so I'll let 'em go for $75 if ya want them. Here's a link to what they are:

I think the issues are resolved. Lineup shop may be a good shop for most, but they are not performance suspension smart. My adjustable setup turns out to be "A okay". I had ordered some new KYB shocks because I needed them. So, since I'm learning a lot about suspensions recently I was dancing all over due to trusting Lineup shops advice. I feel a bit silly here. The issue is the factory original rear shocks. They're totally done. Live and learn

Glad you got it figured out though. So it was the shocks causing the issues?

Susp I believe so. I got with Chuck at K&C Performance in Hillsboro. I'll be changing out the poopy original shocks friday with some KYBs. Wanted Bilstiens, but budget budget. The original shocks look like something drug up out of a swamp. I let him drive today for a intense test drive. I think the impact of the crash did the "last straw" on those shocks. I still feel silly, but we'll see how it is after i put in the new shocks. Hopefully, these kinda threads help someone else out.
