Are all the bolts tightened correctly? Did you use lowering springs, cut springs, coil overs?

"wobbling"? take the wheel off and check to see if the wheel is flush again.

otherwise, perhaps you forgot to assemble a washer on the shock and its not installed correctly.

btw, torque the lugnuts properly to 80 ft-lbs. its really not as tight as you COULD hand tighten it, but its the proper tightness.

we just finished messing with it...um the spring wasnt directly into the perch or whatever but after we pushed it down and did everything else put it back together i drove it and did some turns in it and it still kinda wobbles just not as bad...could only have 3 lug nuts for over a year mess something up? or make the car wobble funny like that?

i dont understand which bushing is bad, but if its one of the lca bushings, you can go buy an lca from teh junkyard for 30 buks and be on the road in no time.
