check you pinon angles of both the trans and rear end !?

Check wheel and drive shaft balance ? could even be a bent drive shaft ?

good luck

If you have a wheel wobble, it's most likely a bent rim.
Check the end caps on the u joint. I cant see if it's fully seated. There's usually a lip or tab on the yoke that the cap seats inside of.

Dude....those no hop bars aren't even attached to the diff. The passenger side is totally off on the bottom and the driver's side looks like its loose too. As soon as you get on the gas hard the rear must rotate up a huge amount!!! DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR!!!

If you are using a stock driveshaft I highly suggest you get rid of it for a custom made one in a larger diameter.

I had a stock one fail due to exceding rpm limit of the stock junk and come through the floor. You can get one for around $250 shipped, high speed balanced with thick chromoly walls.

check if the rim is bent, that will make it shake like a bitch at certain speeds, then calm down at other speeds

hit it, exactly!
The holes in the ears of the bars are there to allow the hsg ribs to be drilled, and a bolt dropped thru. If they are not attached, braking will allow the hsg to roll, same w/ accel.
I had a set to install on a customer's car. [for about 10 minutes]. I called Summit and was told they were a good way to break the hsg. [87 GN 8.5"]

Look at your floor pan.. Caved in??
I'm suggesting that the u joints be looked at CLOSELY..

1 word for those things: JUNK.
A set of adjustable uppers is in order. That way U can set the pinion as you want it.

Well.... Those bar are intended for one purpose (Drag racing).. and do work if installed correctly (as most likely stated in the instructions). But the way they are currently install.. I am supprised something has not broke by now. Without the lower part of the bars attached. It could see it causing our rear end to shift side to side.

Removing them or re-installing them correctly might resolve the current problems.

Why are you ******* around with a turbo when the first thing on your mind should to make sure that your car is safe?!

Yeah.. without the lower end of the bars attached, only thing holding the bars to the Upper Control Arm was the bushing an bolt on top of the housing. I can see that it would wobble and shift left to right.

But let us know if this fixed it.. (I think it would).
