I got tired of dealing with this as well - hence the GC camber plates

My last set of bushes did this exact same thing - one side went down about 3/8ths of an inch compared to the other and had about 10k on em. They were from Pure MS.

The Camber plates make a pop at full lock - but other than that are great. You also gain another 1/2 of travel up front :-)

        Seems like they may have some quality control issues. Their motor mounts were shot after 20k too.   -  JohnLZ7W  2010-03-16 10:18:04 (55 views)
