I have a 99 z24.
While moving when i press on the gas the car will jerk left and when i let off it will jerk right.
Control arm bushing and ball joints were replaced about 10k mikes ago. Prothane bushings and raybestos ball joints.
Struts have about 3k miles and mounts and springs the same.
Ttr motor mount, probably 20k miles and prothane transmission bushings have about 1k miles on them.
Just put in jeffies trailing arm bushings, did it before and after install.
Front sway bar end links were replaced when control arms were done. Have new sway bar d bushings plan to change when i swap motors, dont seem to have.much play though.
Addco rear bar doesnt have but maybe 5k miles on it.
Any thoughts?
My only thought is worst case being differential. Unfortunaly the trans was just put in, did a getrag swap about 2 years go. Trans has 69k miles on it.

I had the exact thing happen to me in the past. Turns out the bolts on the control arm's became lose and needed to be re torqued. I also had prothane bushings intalled. I'd start there and also check your subframe bolts.
I'd like to add the loose bolts came on my old red cav....worst case senario
THIS COULD HAPPEN

I did check the bolts when i put the trans mounts in. Only 2 i didnt check are the ones bkocked by the lower dog bone mount and the brace running to the core support.
Guess i need to pull them out and check them.
Thankfully the jerking isnt bad, its not like it is to the point it will cause me to loose control, yet.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully i dont run into any rusty broken bolts. I guess thats one of the benifits of living in az.

Keep us posted on what you find.
Will do. Thanks for the info.

Figured it out. Turned out to be passanger side horizontal bushing bolt was loose. Not finger loose, it maybe turned one bolt face. Took it for a spin on the freeway and all seems to be good.
Thanks for the help!

Was I the only one who read the title before opening this thread and wondered why it wasn't in AG?
No, but I figured it was safe since I reconized the user name.
I figured the odd title would draw some attention. I do have some decent ag stuff though, maybe ill liven it up a little after work.

Jucnbst, do you have the part number for the horizontal bolt that broke on you? Mine isnt broke but wont stay tight for some reason, im thinking its stretched.

Found the part number for the bolts, 22656154 typically sold in a set of 5 for about $2 each.
Its the same bolt as the trailing arm mount as well.

I'll check when I get home. I still have the bag from the dealer when I ordered mine.
I have no idea if you fixed your problems since JBO went down but I had the exact same thing happen to me. The CA bolts have to be torqued with the wheels on the ground. That fixed mine right up.
