Using bigger bolts for aftermarket panard and controll aros?
My rear end seams to track a lot , like i have four wheel steering and someones fighting me all the way. I have tubular control arms and panard. Someone suggested I may need to use bigger bolts, but may need to drill the holes bigger on the body. Anyone hear of this?

I can see where a bolt with a much smaller diameter than the holes it passes through (bushing insert and bracket holes) would allow the arm (control or panhard) to move in the bracket. The cure would be to use the correct stock bolt sizes.

I would push on the back of the car laterally and see if you have an excessive amount of sway. Listen for any sort of metal/metal sound which would probably mean something is wrong. I would also check to make sure your tires are even in the wheel wells when compared from side to side. If one side is farther forward it would point to the rear-end not being square to the car which would make the car track oddly.
Did the car always do this or has it happened since you did a recent mod or repair?

Has always done it. I bought it with the aftermarket stuff already installed. A friend confirmed tonight it indeed happens and bigger bolts help. He had the same problem till last week, when he decided to use bigger bolts. He found out the bushing hole was just enough bigger to cause his parts to move.
