    You stated the car was an iX. Did you re-use the iX Subframe bushing washer? If so, did you put a spacer or washers under the inner sleeve to account for the difference so the sleeve engages into the slot in the car?

          This might get more replies that would be helpful in the "ix" specific section

              I'm just completely troubled by the tundra in the video. It makes me feel sad.

                I wonder if Toyota would have done better than ford at a slightly different speed. Seems like the suspension was at the natural frequency vibrations at that speed. Higher speed it might have done better than ford.

                    Nicest aftermarket bushings I've installed on any of my cars so far. Never heard of anyone else have issues other than shipping either, so I doubt it.

                      Is there rust issues in the body? That could cause the rear to feel noodley..

                      And if you have another set of wheels and tires you could try out, give that a shot.

                      Good luck! I know what iX woes are... SUCKS.

                        Sounds like it's something to do with the RTABs. They're supposed to be installed a certain way, I think the thicker ends of the bushings face towards the outsides of each arm. I'm using Condor bushings with no issues.

                          Lug nuts tight? Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

                            My car was doing the same thing, turns out one of my tires was folding over around corners. It had a broken belt but looked fine straight up.
