whats going on with my suspension

ok
Here goes , i believ this would be the appropriate place to post this
Here is my dilema :
installed my 20B engine with subframe and bumpsteer correction kit
but when driving now , i feel the rear end feels "loose" and twichy ,kinda like floating
checked the tire pressure was a bit high , ..lowerd it to 32psi ...runs better but still not as it should
i do remember i installed some time ago the pettit trailing arms (which now i`ve been told are crap) before i put in the 20B , car didnt drive bad back then ,
when i installed drove the car for the first time with the 20b i had a noise coming from the back , as soon as i try and lift the clutch no matter how soft you can hear it , and of course going over potholes and crap , its a full concert of clunking in the rear

i checked my pillowbals , but didnt feel any play , i could move some of them quite easy though (they turn)
but i am not to shure about the pettit trailing arm crap
could that be causing this ?
could i still have bump steer , regardless of the bumpsteer kit ?(car was alligned many times ,i have an allignment shop)
could my pillowballs be doing this?
i have a full set of superpro bushing that i am going to be installing over these days could that help?
what do you guys think ?
this is a nasty problem for me as i want to increase boost , but with an unstable car i dont know if thats a good idea

Honestly, sounds like bad pillow *****. I'd replace when you do the superpro's. Clunking and floating sound like the right symptoms.
