Help Car Extremely Unstable

[Obsessed]

So I installed the following:

BC Coilovers, DSS Half Shafts, BMR Cradle Poly Busing, BMR Poly Dif Bushing, BMR vertical links TCA045, BMR toe rods, Ford Racing Knuckle Bearing, and Steeda Rear LCA Bearing.

Took the car on a short slow speed ride and wow. The car if F'd. I wouldn't want to go above 30mph. It sways/pulls side to side (extremely unstable). No squeaking though. Anyone have any advice on what the heck might be the problem. Kinda feel like I ruined the car.

From reading other threads I am thinking about retorquing with loaded suspension and obviously it needs an alignment, but beyond that I have no clue.

All help is extremely appreciated.

Get it aligned ASAP. That is most likely your issue.

Alignment!!!! - i had the exact same issue after replacing a broken lower control arm and adding new springs, bmr lockout, vertical links and adj toe rods all at the same time. I wouldn't take the car over 30.

You're on the right track with loading the suspension and re-torquing to spec.

Ok, so went with the alignment responses and pulled the rear wheels off and put a level on the rotors. I had negative camber on one wheel and positive on the other. Probably had something to do with it ;). So utilizing the adjustable toe rods and a level I think I got the camber to zero. Took it out for a ride and it was MUCH better. I think with a professional alignment I won't have any more problems.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Mustang G6 is really a great asset for anyone looking to DIY. I've learned a lot. Probably gonna tackle a whipple install next.

make sure wheels are torqued to spec, that happened to me once. Alignment as well! Everything is off alignment.
