Worn rear knuckle bushings?
275,000km on '93 LS400 Have a "loose" rear end. Just looking for ballpark ideas before i go investigating.
Mechanic told me awhile back I have play in my RR knuckle bushing and I have symptoms of an unstable rear end when I cross the seams of a bridge for example..... the rear end shudders to the right or left so I have to make a slight correction in steering.......its' pretty bad.
I;m guessing I should replace the bushings with the ADUS items as per the writeup in this forum? Would they cause this? Or something else......Putting the feelers out for ideas

Had the exact problem. Its the bushing on the knuckle for the trailing arm. They are known for going out with high mileage.
Here are the bushings i bought for the trailing arm (this does one side but both the trailing arm bushings)
