General Maintenance & Repairs - Rear of car kicks to the right when shifting from1st to 2nd

Ok so I got a 95 z28 a4 and when it shifts from 1st to 2nd the rear of the car will swing to the right but only does this WOT, any sugesstions on what could be wrong.

too much torque pull a spark plug wire and be on your way.

Panhard rod is a good place to start

Get tubular lower control arms and the relocation brackets. Cheap and easy

Swap engine for a v6. Will stay nice and straight through WOT :drive:

Tie rod ends. My Formula would damn near go sideways with a WOT 1-2 shift. Replaced the tie rod ends, got an alignment, and now it goes true all the time.

Keep holding the pedal on the right down, should be fine.

Alright thanks guys, and I didn't know if it was just the tires breaking loose or what so thanks.

Turn INTO the swing and keep going. Just check for loose parts in the rear. Sounds kinda normal to me.

As others have stated check the bushings in the panhard and LCA's. If one or more of the bushings are wore out it will cause slop in the lateral movement in the back of the car.

Ok I checked everything and it all turned out to be good an talked to a couple people here in town and they said there's did the same thing so I'm guessing it's normal

The street just can't contain the LT1 :nod:
