[s-cars] Rear suspension strange noise

[Aaron Taylor]

I recently did a front end rebuild but the cars still wanders slightly.
I also have the squeak in the rear.  Sounds like it might be time for a rear
rebuild as well...

Chris,

I can understand how it can affect steering :)

It's interesting because I don't have squeak

This is little-bit "metallic" noise. Anyway, I guess it's time for 
suspension work.

Why did you replace arms? How much they were?

I'm thinking about bushings only. Plus camber links.

Since alignment required I may go with a whole front rebuild.
