my lag is your courtesy head start


ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!

Re-shimmed my rear subframe to oem location, made sure everything was torqued to spec and still have no idea why my rear end feels unstable after higher speed accel/decel. Feels like it wants to track on its own. Any ideas?
(I got an alignment at a local two letter named performance shop two weeks ago but "there alignment printer was out of paper", so I don't know what before adjustment was or actual after other than the dude handwriting it down, suspect?)

oh, and put on a turbo blanket finally.

You check out all of the arms ? Someone elses alignment done at a two letter shop ended up self adjusting the hell out of itself after a full auto event, and scrubbing off a pair of front tires on the way home...

This two letter shop seems to do wonderful work and have super mature workers.

I've checked everything I think I can, I'm going to get it put on an alignment rack somewhere next weekend to rule that out, just not sure where. I usually go to advance performance on linebaugh until they told me they don't do alignments on Saturdays anymore, then I drive by there on Saturday (while on the way to my alignment close by) and they have a car on the rack... lost my business forever.
Fyi, I'm running in the rear, SPL solid offsets with S14 subframe, SPL RUCA, SPL TOE, BV Traction, SPL solid dif bushings...not much rubber that could be causing this, so if somebody has an idea? (I'm pretty set on it being toe)

I did get the turbo blanket off ebay. PTP, they seemed the better of the choices out there, I got back from driving it hard after my rear adjustments, no fires yet..lol

I agree with the toe being out of wack. Either its loose or aligned incorrectly.

Only other option one of the rear wheel bearings decided to split. That happened to me once after I got an alignment. The outer race separated and caused the car to wander all over the place on throttle. No noise or any other indication until I got the car off the ground and the rear wheel rocked back and forth almost an inch.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to go check them now, I shook the shit out of them when it was up but I didn't pull the wheels.

I had a situation where the spindle's toe bushings were done and deflecting measureably. They just weren't up to fighting 330ft-lbs and a 4.36. Those bushings don't have a steel sleeve, and they are engineered to give before the traction and ruca bushings. Swapping to solids in all 3 locations made a huge difference in how bad it wandered under accel.

Also, corner weights off by a lot maybe? That's a bit of a longer shot.
