You probably only need pillowballs. Search and you will find many threads. It is about $400 in parts for the necessary six of them.

what if i just get coilovers?
dont those come with the pillowballs?

Pillowball bushings (there are six on an FD). The pillowball mounts are a different story and most coilovers come with these.

It could also be your differential bushings, or even too much backlash in the differential from age and use. I didn't realize how bad my backlash was until I recently replaced my differential and checked the old backlash, the difference with a tight differential is HUGE. You might be able to get an idea how loose it is by moving the driveshaft back and forth with your hand w/ the transmission in neutral.

talk to Rishie at AutoRnD. He is a very nice guy, communication was A+++. Shoot him a PM. There is currently a thread regarding the SuperPro bushings he's selling. I recently just purchased a complete kit with coilover kit from him.
