so i take my 95 240sx to the allignment shop and after they finished was told i need steering rack bushings. so i get me some energy suspenstion polly bushing set. get it installed. the reason i needed them in the first place was that my car would jurk left or right when ever it wanted to while driving. drivable but a pain in the ass. so after i install them its much better! :) but after driving it for 2 days its worse then before! :( ??? so i looked at everything and found that just a few bolts were loose on the lower control arm and the tension rod. but would that cause it to feel like im driving with crazy tow in? just jurks me left or right how ever the damn thing feels fit! :squint:

what should i look out for?

parts i have!
PBM tension rods and toe rods.
SPL toe ends
PBM coilovers
steering rack moved forward
power brace
custom lower control arm
PBM nockles (angle kit)
??

Yes everything needs to be tightened/torqued down properly. Think of it as if you just put your lugnuts on hand tight. The nuts would eventually back out and cause the wheel to wobble and slide off.

Torque everything to spec and use some loctite purple or blue to hold it all in place.

the tension rod basically holds your whole front together. without it putting "tension" on the LCA it would flop all over the place.
