i have fixed my magna now but i have noticed somthing when i am driving tho if i hit a bump in the road feels like the back of the car wiggles abit my old skyline had the trailing arm bushes stuffed and it sorta the same feeling dose any one no what i can be looking at here

magna smells like its running really rich i was working on my sound system today and noticed that my eyes starting to hurt and the car smelled really rich it had a whole in the exhaust would this be causeing the problem

I just replaced a few of the stock bushes in the rear of my magna as it was doing the same thing.. I started with the lower control arms and then the trailing arm bushes.. After I did the trailing arms the problem was gone! They can be tricky to get out without a press but I managed.. Just!
Speak to Shawn from Phillcom on here, he did me the best price on replacement bushes!

thanks mate how did u get the bushes back in how much did that cost you for the bushes?

had a look at all my bushes in the rear end today but there all fine wtf? could it be the front sway bar? when i crashed it could it have got bent if so if it is bent with it make the car un stable? over bumps

Hey, sorry been busy!
Having a bent sway bar COULD cause instability but I would guess in the form of cornering one way better than the other.. I had the same symptoms as you over bumps then it progressively got worse until it became noticably unsettled going around corners. Which got scary above 80km/h!
Getting the bushes in was a lot easier than getting the old ones out! bit of persistence & cursing should do the trick.. I had to remove the hub assembly from the car to get them in / out..

Looking at the bushes usually won't give much away as mine looked fine as well.. even trying to move the wheel i different directions while in the air was pointless.. I assumed that it takes most of the weight of the car or a reasonable weight transfer for it to cause any noticable effect.. Such as a bump or corner.
My recommendation would be to replace the trailing arm bushes first & see what difference it makes, then move to the lower control arm.. etc.
Can't remember exact prices but the bushes come in kits and cost around $60 for each "kit".. Just don't quote me on the price as it was about 12 months ago now!!
Also you might save some cuts & bruises getting the bushes pressed in & out. I'm just stubborn ;)

ill see how i go in the next couple of weeks see if gets worse what brand bushes did you use

Can't remember the brand but they are blue urethane bushes. Made a huge difference!

so replace front bushes 1st u think do fwd have trailing arms?

Front suspension is Macpherson strut, rear suspension is multilink

ty anyone answer my question about my exhaust ? will a hole in the exhaust effect how rich it runs ?

Only if its upstream of the Oxygen (o2) sensor.

no its not it right up the back
