I have this version on my mind and because of this I have prepared already new steering damper, completely overhauled steering box (I'll do swap into with Servotronic), new tie rods ends (actually existing ones are good), and still waiting bushings from Powerflex for tie rods.
But OK, all this regarding front; what about vibration from the rear ??

I think u should just consentrate on the front first.
The rear vibration could be caused from the front.

And those swaybar bushings for a 28mm bar?

On theirs web-page they say that bushings are for 25mm
http://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-d...25mm/1765.html
but as we know V8Q had two types sway bars: 26mm & 28mm. When I made my order the parts were checked according with my car VIN, so I expect proper size polyurethane things.

I have measured front sway bar and it is 26mm..... so bushings should be OK.... or not ?? only 1mm.. maybe this is even better ??

And about vibration from suspension: I went for to check wheels hubs (somehow with some kind of sensors), and then suddenly I changed my mind I have decided for a forth time to check how are balanced wheels, and ..... on the front passengers side was completely "out", the rest of three were showing exactly the same. After I did test drive and NO vibration at all !!!

Good to hear gedis.
Hopefully now you can enjoy driving the car instead of fixing all these little issues you have had to deal with.

My PLW - Pro Line Wheels has holes into which fits only tuners size bolts. Bolt head diameter has to be not more then 19mm, and thread length not less then 37mm (because of spacers)M14x1.5.
Can somebody advise something ? Any brand or company ?? Appreciated in advance.
