Yes, you notice subframe shifting in all cars with coilovers and old bushings. Had the same problem with my FC as well as my 240. They way to correct it is poly bushings, or replace the bushings with full aluminum.

I plan to get a hold of a shop and see what it will cost for aluminum bushing replacements, if they fail and rip something out. Ill buy another chassis and strengthen what broke.

Potentially everything we put on our cars, or any car for that fact has a chance of making another part fail. Its unstoppable, and really there is no way around it.
