John, do you have the lowered Bilstein suspension system? Just curious!
Are your bump stops still in good condition? I can explain why I am asking later, depending on your response.

BTW, I changed over to re-inforced LCA's and panhard (2) years ago, and thought same w/poly bushings. Everything checked out on mine also!

If you race frequently (40-50 passes over time), the bump stops completely eroded placing a hardship on the shock/spring setup, so that is why I asked. In addition, IMO, the pinion angle on my adjustable TA(torque arm) was also impacted. So I replaced the rear level one SLP suspension w/GC perches, 175# springs (b/c of extra 400#), and 4th gen SA Koni's. TO DATE, I have no more issues. Does sound typical of a bushing though! It is a PITA to isolate the problem, I will concur
