Has anyone serviced (replaced) the bushings in the rear knuckle/arms?

There is an aftermarket option for those..
Jay Racing Active Rear Toe Eliminator Kit for 1G AWD DSM [ATE1] - $195.00 : Jay Racing
This can only be used on a car with no AWS though.

Edit: It looks like these are held in only by friction, personally I would like to see it a little longer so we could install the stock bolt.
It is just the rubber that flexes, also that part is really hard to remove.

Interesting part. I guess with this you eliminate the assist links to avoid the thing tearing itself apart?

I'm sure you could leave aws delete arms on So long as they were adjusted correctly but you wouldn't need them anymore.

I'm going to guess that the arm the assist arms travel in causes intentional bump steer to do what this kit eliminates. Keeping it locked to the travel of the assist link may bind up the suspension if the rubber bushing is made solid.

the rod end would take up that movement, those delete links are not changing the motion, just holding it straight* in it's motion that is created by the upper and lower control arms.

From the site:

"1g DSM AWD rear suspensions feature an active toe-control link which increases rear toe-in under cornering and acceleration."

If the assist link arc of travel is different from the upper and lower control arms it will pull the toe in as the suspension compresses. Once you lock that down with the spherical bearing instead of the rubber bushing you are going to start bending and breaking stuff.

My car never had aws, but it still has those rubber bushings in the trailing arm and factory AWS delete links.

Where's abm, he knows all this stuff for sure.

I don't think that our AWS delete arms are equivalent to the 1g dsm active toe control.
It doesn't even really matter though, if this part is installed those links are no longer required, there is no reason to leave them on the car.

Edit: just looked at a picture of the 1g dsm suspension, wow it is close to ours.. I still think that the spherical bearing would take up the movement that is lost from the rubber but again it really doesn't matter.

the video in the item description shows them welding it in

Oh, good catch! I did not watch the video.
