Well, it seems that I've solved the mystery of my crazy backend. I got under the car today and was looking around. I jacked up the rear passenger side and had my brother push and pull on the side of the wheel. I saw a lot of play coming from the spindle bushing. even the end of the trailing arm was bent out a little from the spindle twisting a lot. I could only imagine how much flex it had when cornering, let alone what my brother could produce.

Here's the factory diagram and I've included a mystery arrow to show where I need the bushing, and how it's not in the diagram:




So does this mean that it comes already in the spindle? If that's the case, are there any other solutions? Could I add a washer or two to tighten things back up, or would that not work?

Yes, that bushing comes with the hub, not the trailing arm.

You should be able to buy that bushing separately, and have it pressed into the hub.

I will try to look up that bushing tomorrow.

Part number on that bushing is 20271AA010.

thanks a lot! now to fix this car.
