Megan racing link owners! questions on install !

I have looked around online and on rx8 club and even googled to try and find the thread ( normally works) but it seems there is A. Ether no one has had my issue or B. the threads are clogged with even mentioning of the word megan.... Im running out of time and ideas and megan support is not open till monday........

I replaced my rear lower links and toe arms with the megan kits.... i thought install would be simple just unbolt and bolt the new ones on and it was! however when i lowered the car and took it for a drive something was horribly wrong. A religious experience almost as i could not control the car it was like the rear wheels were constantly wobbling and had a mind of their own shifting weight and making horrible sounds. I put the car on jacks and looked and saw the kit had a lot of play with the ball bearings. I thought this would be why it was acting so weird.. I know our stock arms did not have ball bearings on both sides but figured they knew what they were doing while designing this. I tryed fooling with the adjusters but knew it would do no good. Am i doing something wrong? is there something that stops the car from shiffting its weight and or wobbling ? cause the car is un drivable and with no instructions i have run out of ideas! any help would be appreciated.. for all our sanity please no trolling

Thanks ....

I was having the same problem with the stock suspension and it ended up being a bolt on one of the links that was broken.
Did you ever get this problem fixed?

Yeah I think the alignment was just too out of wack I re installed them and it worked better ..... but thats scary good thing you found the broken bolt could have lead to a crash!
