Default Rear end JUmp!

Alright, check this **** out. I got the 02 TA A4, and everytime I gas it and start spinning tires, my rear end makes this loud *** noise, the whole car shakes and my rear end starts jumping. Like it literally starts coming off the ground. Please tell me what it is cause it real embarrasing when I punch it and all this loud *** noise comes from the back and my whole car jumps on the inside!

Check all your suspension componets and make sure everything is hooked up right and nothing is loose.

This sounds like wheel hop. Your rear tire is dribbling kinda like a basketball. Anyway, wheel hop is very hard on the rear end and eventually you're going to break something.

You can do a search on suspension related upgrades to cut down on the wheel hop.
