Hey guys, im not sure if this is a dumb question to ask but ive been having trouble with the handling of my corsa gsi for a while now. Its the SA spec, 1.6 8 valve motor.
The other day i was under the front of the car and noticed that where the tie bars connect to the ARB, where there is that rubber between the 2, with the clamp / bracket thing. Its not tight! IS this bad? Im sure it must be. I can hold the ARB with my hand and slide it in that bracket against the tie bars probably about 2 cm either way... can i solve this with polybushing the front up?
And is the whole movement thing my handling problem?? help...
Oh my car is lowered 35mm on eibach springs with 17s on it. Thanks is advance, the handling is driving me to consider selling the car which id rather not do as its a looker  I know dropped with 17s on the ride is harsh, but i know my car and something is wrong..

From the sounds of it, the bushes are worn, which is bad, yes.
Polybushes should tighten it all up and make it better to drive.

Ill swop you my lights for a 20xe  you guys seem to have tons of them over there, here they are impossible to find. What symtoms am i looking at with the worn bushes?
Its kinda "wooly" on the road and feels like it lurches and clanks as i go over speed bumps etc, nothing hectic but its there.
PM me for details as where to send the 20xe
This is the South African GSi btw, all std except for the lights, rims, drop and engine pretty bits.
