ok, here's my latest problem with the car... i recently installed a 1pc driveshaft on my 90. i now have an intermittent rear end shake around 80. i was swapping over wheels to see if they were out of balance, and a did a quick shakedown while it was jacked up.
it looks like both rear knuckles have a worn bushing that goes to the toe arm? i would think that this will cause a shake.
my question is............. does anyone offer upgraded bushings, or should i just get new factory ones? i'd like to do it right the first time.
thanks for listening..............

i found this. hopefully it will solve the problem

The bushing at the hub end for control arm #2 is a spherical bearing. Replacing it with anything other than the Toyota OEM part has caused arm failures. Also explains why it costs so much compared to the rest of the bushings.

cool, thanks. i'll definitely order a pair of these.
also, good call hvyman. i think mine is shot as well. my guess is that the 1pc shaft just makes all the little things more evident.

or another spherical.

dont forget you now get the vibration after you changed over... is that driveshaft balanced? i hope so. also dont neglect axles.
