toe link Question

ok, so when i did my brakes I got under the car and tried to see what seemed "loose" or broken up bushing wise on the rear suspension. I have that horrible rear end shift/noise when the road gets rocky....

The only component that seemed to be loose was the toe links...... I could rotate the bar pretty far both directions.... It wouldn't shift forward and back, just rotate.

so my question is, could this be the cause of the shake?

Jack up the car. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6, push and pull on the wheel. Do the same thing with you hands on 3 and 9 oclock. If your toe links are worn you will feel it when you do it at 3 and 9.

The factory toe link and are not bushings they are bearings, that why the rotate. The only way to see where the noise is comming from is to check pry on the arms with the bearings to see if they have any play. And check you diff mounts. Its probabaly the pillow *****. The first owner of my last fd, had the dealer change the pillow ***** every 30k.

k, maybe I'll start with that. I couldn't really get anything to "move" other than that one thing, them being bearings makes more sense..... I'm leaning toward pillowball mounts
