Hi folks,

I have a 740 sedan, and I installed 4 new springs and shocks and struts.
The problem is, I'm still getting sag in the back with 4 people in the
car. With 2 people in the car (in front) the car drives just fine.
With 4 people, the steering feels light, and twitchy. I think it's
because the rear is riding low, but I dont know for sure. I spoke to
someone at FCP groton about it, and he recommending changing the trailing
arm bushings. Could my problems be caused by bad bushings?

I used 4 normal rate springs from FCP groton. These are the Scantech
springs. I saw a lot of posts that say the Scantech springs are fine.
I know I need to change the conical bushings in front, but I dont think
it's related to my problem.

thanks!
- Alex
