Rear Steer problems

One of my rear wheels is tipping in. A friend told me it was probably because the bushing that allows it to have rear steering is worn. Does anyone know where to get a new bushing or have another solution?

Rear Steer Problems...

Definitely Mazdatrix... But if you tend to drive pretty aggressively, you may want to look at their bushing kit that eliminates the rear steer...

My 88 GTU just seems alot more stable and predictible when I'm leanin' on it. Course, I prefer having a general idea what direction my wheels are gonna be pointing at any given point in a turn.

The stock DTSS makes the fc feel like two different cars IMO. Understeering one minute and then pretty balanced the next . .

I think the point of DTSS was to make a car that could be neutral in the hands of a driver willing to push the car hard, but that would understeer in the hands of the average joe who didn't want to test the car's limits.

The only problem with that philosophy was, people who push the car hard tend to like their rear toe settings to stay where they adjust them to.
