Either, I like it stiffer now or the suspension bushings (rear) are actually getting softer. But during the last lapping weekend I would have preferred a tighter ride.
Question: Anybody knows of a full urethane bushing kit for the V, or CTS for that matter. Possibly including stiffer cradle bushings as well?
BTW, I have the FG2s

Might as well throw in a request for the drive train as well. Replace all those rubber bushings on the drive shaft with something stiffer.

I know there is an 'upgraded' driveshaft bushing, but perhaps something beyond that, that really tightens everything up, and is not RUBBER.

Having both of these should go a ways towards helping the diff live longer. The clunk and wheel hop can not be good for those rear's.

While the car was on the hoist, I was playing around with a crow-bar under the car. If you insert it where the bushings are e.g. control-, trailing-arms, shocks, differential mounts etc. and put a bit of torque on it, you will be amazed of how much movement is in the rear suspension’s rubber bushings.

When I was tightening up my exhaust the other day, I was able to move the drive shaft(the section that connects to the rear diff) forward and aft about 1/2 inch with no problem (almost with just using a finger and thumb), I'm not sure if this is typical or not.

I also get the clunk all the time now when downshifting in nearly any gear, not just 'parade clunk'.

Also SB, hope you don't think I was thread jacking, but I think the liberal use of rubber bushings all over the place is an entire car issue, and not just the suspension.
