Rear end feels very wobbly

Hi Guyz

 

Back end of my Z has been wobbling around for some time now and there is a little play in the back wheels (was mentioned at last MOT). So Ive decided that i am going to do some work to stiffen her up abit. Here's what I have got planned so far:

 

* Remove HICAS (because I want to, end of story :nelson: )

* Replace all shocks & springs (KYB's uprated non-adj & Eibach Springs)

 

What else could be causing the wobble that i can replace bearing in mind everything is stock at the mo?

    Check the upper link suspension and subframe bushes too

    Ok cheers. I will probably replace them anyway. Is it worth going for poly bushes after reading the warnings on here?

     

    Also would this fix the play in the rear wheels? I can literally grab the wheel and rock it when its jacked up.

    yep, worn ball joints on the rack end

    Hicas arms caused the same problems with mine. Even if you eliminate the hicas system you still need to get new Hicas arms or you will have the same problem.
