new LCAB - still problems

[marleymon]

Hey everyone- well I replace my inner/outer tie rods, ball joints, and ca bushings. After a week of driving I noticed a sort of wheel shake when I bump the speed bumps coming in and out of my complex.
After cleaning my 17" wheels, I grabbed the front driver side and gave it a clockwise jerk (sort of yanking it up). Wow, they dam thing is very loose. i had a buddy crawl under while i yanked and he noticed (everything is solid except) a sideways jerk on the ca bushing. He was wondering if the bushing was installed wrong as the "meat" of the bushing is at "12&6," With the gaps in the bushing at "3&9". This allowing the side to side movement or flex.

So I screwed up and didn't get the m3 bushings.
I have a 1995. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I know i need solid? Is there a difference in year? Do I want Offset or centered? i'm guessing they are going to be pricey. Bavauto lists a bunch of different ones.
Thanks for help- josh

Well the install sounds as though it was correctly done, but when the bushings were 1st installed, the car must be put on the ground within a 1/2 hour of install. It has to do with the seating of the bushings and the control arm. Try to get the M3 solid factory bushings. The offset, as I understand, help with high speed stability. I will be installing the "centered" solid rubber ones when I have a moment. Hope this helps.
