Spider suspension

[Eric Storhok <alfa@xxxxxxxxx>]

One other alternatives to the handling problem on the spider is worn our 
bushings.  Based on what I've heard about the front lower bushings, this is 
quite rare, however...

On my GTV, all of the front suspension bushings were completely worn out, 
and when I started to disassemble the lower a-arm, I was surprised how 
loose it was.  Those would allow my front suspension to move in a manner 
which would let the front tires roll over (even have a picture of it...).

The other parts could be the bushings in the rear, especially the trunion 
arm bushing.  If its loose enough to let the axle move around, it will give 
you odd handling characteristics.

My GTV now has W&D springs, high performance front sway bar, and 
Koni's.  And while the car is really nice autocrossing and on the track, 
I'd much rather have it stock to drive it every day.   Especially in 
Michigan where the roads are pretty bad...
