Ok, today I decided to fix the camber on my car using the washer method. After doing this, I noticed my back left seems to jump around alot. When I go over a bump, it feels very rough, and I can hear stuff moving about. Do you think the bolts that are used could be lose and causing movement?

My coilover setup is Tein Flex btw, I don't know if this helps any. Any input on this would be nice.
 
If there is any question in your mind, go back in and tighten them to 28 ft. lbs.
 
On a 95 I'd be looking at the bushings (after checking the upper-arm brackets). Most people do not loosen the bolts for all the arms when lowering a car, so they end up stressing every bushing all the time. This hastens the day when they rip. If I'm correct, enjoy the process of replacing the rear bushings. Knuckle-skin is over-rated, anyway.

Thanks for both of your replies :). As I thought, the problem came from not tightening the bolts with lock washers. I just tightned all 8 corners down with them, and there is nothing wrong now. Admin can close this thread if they want.
