I tried tightening them a bit more and I can't go much more without a breaker bar and I don't want to run the risk of stripping the risers out. I had my eye on a set of alloy art bushings that are coincidentally clear anyways, I'm going to try those. If I still have flex I might look into the solid bushings. I thought about going with just another set of drag specialties but after what HD_Matt said, there might be something to the issue of quality with the drag specialties bushings. Then again maybe not, but we'll find out soon enough. New bushings should be here Wednesday, I'll keep you guys posted.

I went with aluminum riser bushings and have not had any problems with them Or excess vibration.

Quick update, got the new riser bushings installed and that did the trick. Night and day difference over the old bushings. That being said, I don't know if the new bushings (Alloy Art Gooden Tight) are just that much better than the drag specialties, or if it's because after 20k miles the bushings just needed to be replaced. Only time will tell. Thanks again everyone!

I had a set of Drag Specialist poly bushings that were sloppy loose.
