Sounds like the rear bushes are worn out. Easy check is to power on and off, and if the car swings to when you power, and then throws when you back off, then the bushes are gone (assuming you dont have a 8inch lift or an A frame in the rear). All bushes can be gathered through Niz bits and he is the ...

Mine was very hard to screw back down, once its is primed, I had to back off the bleed nipple, and tighten it down, and then do the bleed nipple back up. it took a number of goes to get it to tighten up.

might be worth having another go at it, as i'm yet to hear of one stripping its thread.

the spray on stuff works well, it just takes a few coats to get that cover you want.

Brush on stuff works well, and tends to go further. I've got it under my front and rear archs, and it does a great job. I placed a very thick coat on, and it cut the noise of the claws down by a 1/4.
