Rear Suspension Questions
#1
The rear suspension on my 86 feels like its floating side to side as I drive. Aside from the bushings probably being shot after 167K, I know the shocks are gone so I'm putting new ones on. I think its more than that though, this is pretty bad.
Would side to side movement be most common from bad lateral links, sublink, or control links?? When under the car, everything is connected fine, just old and probably worn out. If its just the lateral links, I have a chance to get a set of low mileage 88 TII lateral links. Will these swap right into an S4 NA?
Thanks.

Yes, check all those out ASAP. A friend of mines TII had some rigged bolt that was too long installed by the previous owner on one of the bushings causing the rear to wiggle like crazy over highway dividers/etc etc.

I didn't want to put much money into this car but of course I want it to be safe. I already have new rear shocks so I'll start there and also double check all the connections to make sure they are tight. I'm sure the bushings are probably shot on the whole car but there is no way I'm doing a full bushing job on this thing.
So does anyone know if the lateral links from the TII will swap into my GXL? In case they are bad, that is one thing I could replace for cheap.
Thanks.
