Hello, i have a 85 245 and i have installed some suspension upgrades like bc racing coilovers and ipd 25/22 stiffer swaybars the car still feels restless over 80kmh in turns and i dont know what is causing that the steering is numb and rear end does weird stuff im thinking about new front controll arms and bushings and an adjustable panhard bar since the car is a little lower but i dont know if those make the difference

 

certainly worn bushings and tie rod ends can cause numbness so do a visual with the wheels up so you can push and pull around front and rear. When was the last time the car had a full alignment? If recent, did you keep the print out? If your coil overs lowered the car, you have probably altered the suspension geometry - typically this creates positive camber so you may need to adjust accordingly or raise the ride height. It may be worth getting a fresh 4 point alignment with full printout to see toe/camber/caster specs.

 

Before doing any upgrade, it is essential to ensure all the basic components are in good condition. Replace if these are worn- bushings front and rear, stabilizer bar mounting bushings, stabilizer bar end links, ball joints, tie rod ends, tie rods, rack end boots, shock absorbers, front strut top mounts. Tires should also be in good condition, balanced and correct pressure. Only then should you venture to other upgrades. Upper and lower chassis tie bars/ braces also help in giving a sold feel.

 

Yeah i have new tires although 14" which give some sideways roll in corners the rear end bushings have been changed and the allignment is okay i have an allignment machine at work and didnt care to set it up perfect yet since im changing the control arms and ride height but it goes straight and camber is good and for the rear there are no andjustments
So im just hoping its the bushings
