Where to start? I believe I've posted the story before, but after looking through with a few people I know at a good shop, we've narrowed the problem to the toe link and knuckle bushings.
Summarized story (all events listed are within 21k and 24k miles):
- Installed Eibach Pro Kit springs and 25mm spacers, got an alignment.
- Creaking occurred almost immediately after, rear sway under heavy throttle occurring. Checked alignment, looked fine on paper.
- Changed rear wheel bearings. Creaking disappeared. Rear sway persisted less, but now only during right turns at highway speeds.
- Installed Steeda Billet Aluminum Vertical Links, Steeda Subframe Alignment kit, Steeda Subframe Bushing Support System. Realigned. Rear wiggle during right turns at highway speeds persisted.
- Installed Steeda rear sway bar (middle setting, I believe) and their rear end links. Same issue persists.
- Jacked the car up, found very slight play on the left wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock.
Recently, I ordered a pair of Ford Performance toe link to knuckle bushings, in hopes that this will fix the problem. Waiting until Tuesday to install and realign. I'm praying to God that this is the sole issue that's been causing all of this trouble, but on the chance it likely is not, what could the issue be? I should be asking this if the result of the bushing swap ends up not being the solution to my issue, but I want to ask, just on the chance I could be wrong, and can better research. Below are pictures of the current toe link to knuckle bushing on the driver's side, as well as the picture of the new bushings I just received in the mail. Odometer currently reads a little over 24k miles.
