    So i've noticed that while driving down the freeway it is a constant battle to keep my ST165 in its lane...this only happens at freeway speeds...it almost feels like the front end is sliding around.

    It has gotten worse since I did the swap, I'm not sure if the weight being off the wheels for so long could affect the control arm bushings or not.

    Does anyone know an american source where I can get bushing kit like this one? http://www.gt4-racing.eu/index.php/toyota-celica-st165/suspension-bushes

    I've thought about making polyeurethane engine mounts but not sure that would work with the control arm bushings...does anyone have any more info on this?

    Try Energy Suspension?

    Jack the front up and check your steering rack for play as well as the ball joints using a crowbar for leverage.
    Common for our balljoints and steering arms to fail nowdays and the bushes you mention to rot from oil contamination

    You may just need a suspension alignment.

    ^Hehe, you may be right - the most obvious solution.
