Title says it all, are they? I'm looking to replace my shocks on my 00' ls v6 non-sport. I'm down to the point where my rear end is slipping and sliding when i corner the highways of NY in rainy weather. The front is nice and firm while the back is dancing around.
 
I'm 90% sure they are.

Are you sure your shocks are causing the sliding? Tire wear and alignment are big factors. Mine was tail happy in rain before getting an alignment. IIRC I had significant negative camber couple with tires that could use replacing
 
You can also get that squirrelly feeling if the rear links are bad. Do you also have a clicking in the back when going over bumps?

Yep, my rear suspension is shot at the moment. I do have another one coming in soon though. Those rear tie rods are expensive as s#!+; are there any cheaper rods I can buy? I don't mind loosing the passive steering.
 
probably because you were replacing blown out old worn parts... wouldn't take much to make that better...
 
Possibly. I mean the car sure seems to handle well and predictably. The motion I previously thought was the rear steering ended up being AdvanceTrac assisting turns (at least, I'm pretty sure). I did a number of things at the same time, so it's hard to pinpoint all the differences, but the point I was trying to make is that I couldn't feel any negative changes
 
I wanted to recommend the Deeza JA-L607 links, but I haven't been able to find them online for a few months now. They perform fine. I didn't notice anything majorly different in the supposed elimination of the passive rear steer

Was sold by both Rockauto and MIBearings. they are both out of stock on the Deeza JA-L607 linkages.
Had my order for qty 4 refunded to me and order cancelled.

Good morning XXXXXX,
Unfortunately the JA-L607 are not available.
We have given you a complete refund and are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you.

EDIT - - - - Can't seem to get these DEEZA links anywhere, anymore. Anyone find them please do let me know.
 
I'm wondering if they part is discontinued. I tried calling Deeza but got a busy signal. I'll try later I guess
