Hi Grant,
OH OH, I hope that I have read you wrong. I sure hope that you have NOT  
installed four nylon bushings in the ends of the two lower (rear) control arms.  
Please tell me that you didn't. 
 
If by chance that you did, PLEASE remove the nylon bushings at the outboard  
ends and replace them with rubber ones. Running all four nylon bushings is 
just  setting a time bomb for them to pull the brackets apart and finally cause a 
loss  of control. The Corvair rear suspension is designed to have some 
compliance  provided by the four rubber bushings. Nylon ones have no compliance and 
will  eventually cause a failure.
 
Regards,
Bob Helt
