Suspension experts, I have a question...
If the rear suspension does a funny sideways lateral movement when doing the upward movement (the "hop") over a bump, does that imply a bent control arm?
Background info:
Father-son project '86 ES. H&R sport springs. All new OEM rubber subframe and control arm bushings. Stock generic shocks so far. Has eaten a set of new rear tires in 8000 miles due to camber and toe(?). Toe is close to equal left to right - I thought that would reveal a bent arm.
No lateral movement that I can tell on compression, it's when it hops up. It was very pronounced when we bought it cheap and a bit worn out. Much less now, but still there sometimes.
