I was just wondering if you, for whatever reason, were running negative (toe-out) in the rear as that would cause wandering and instability of the rear of the car.
I can't comment on the bushing theory, and it's hard to help you without feeling what you're talking about, but I have felt something in the rear of my car, on track, that I would describe as "a numb responsiveness". On the street, I really don't notice much issue with my car but a lesser connectivity to the road in comparison to the front in respect to going over bumps and other road imperfections - I associate this to OE damper tuning (I'm not saying it is bad, just a less connected feeling than the front), but it could be the busings in the rear. In performance driving scenarios (autocross and track day), there is a numbness to what the rear end is doing in regards to weight transfer, but it is not anything extreme. Again, this is in respect to the front end (the front end of the 6th Gen Camaro is REALLY good). In autocross, specifically, I have noticed a difference in traction between the left and right tires. There seems to be a nibble of torque steer, but nothing bothersome - just something I noticed coming from a TrueTrac equipped car (TrueTrac is similar to a Torsen, for those not in the know). Personally, I just associated this to the clutch-type limited slip differential. I was just going to try using less friction modifier. I figured it could also be from the differing torsional forces on the rear axles, as I know one is slightly smaller diameter than the other (from what I read).
