Rear Suspension

[BsBLACKGST]

I have 95 GST and something in the rear suspension needs fixing. Whenever I hit a bump while driving my rear end seems like its sliding. The tires in the back lose tread unbelievable quick. They seem to have a lot of movement in them because they are not flush the way they should be instead they either point in or out. I was told it was the bushings on the spindles. I've looked in some repair manuals and can't seem to find them. Can anyone help me? Thanks ahead of time.

I had the same problem. If you get the rear jacked up, you should be able to noticeably "steer" your tires just like the fronts do, from left to right. Not cool.
It was the control arm bushings. I didn't want to pay for a whole new arm, as the bushings themselves are unavailable individually, so I MacGyver'ed my own. There was a thread about it here somewhere.
It cured the problem for awhile, but it is starting to come back. I may just have to bite the bullet.

"If you get the rear jacked up, you should be able to noticeably "steer" your tires just like the fronts do, from left to right".....yes I've noticed that exactly. I can't find the bushings individually looks like I'm just going to have to replace the whole control arms on both sides.
