Big Mike, could you expand a bit on this issue, please?

Just bought a well made roadster with a parallel 4-bar rear suspension with panhard rod. Hooks up very well, great 60' time, but I have the same problem. I can be cruising at 55, give it almost or full throttle, and when I back off at about 80 it wants to swerve to the right. I'm sure the bushings in the bars are shot, I've already had to Jerry-rig one of them until I can find a source.

I did a google search for Speedway Motors and found their website but they only seem to stock rear suspension bushings for GM factory products. What I need is a source to whom I can provide the measurements (I.D., width) of the link ends and have them find a bushing that will fit my current links.

Would you have any sources where I might be able to find such creative types? Everyplace I've tried in the Houston, TX area says they only sell kits for an entire car, but I have no idea which cars might be fitted with bushings the same size as mine and they can't search by size.

I sure could use some help here.....

TIA!!!
