i had a bushing go out on my rear passenger side toe arm. originally that is what i thought was causing my rear end to sway side to side. i replace the toe arms with wicked tuning arms and get it aligned. the more i drive it the worse it seems the swaying gets. I've checked everything i could, all bolts are tight. any idea what it could be? its an 04 coupe with the sport package

Do you have to elongate the bolt hole with those arms? The SPC and Ichiba arms need to have the bolt hole on the car elongated so the arm can be moved in towards the car. If you dont, you get quite a bit of sway. I didnt get any instructions with mine so drove 1 day with out grinding the hole, tons of slop.

Can we assume (dislike that word) since you were under your G you checked out the rear swaybar endlinks? I know a few members had the issue of them breaking. That would cause your rear end to get loose and sway....
