i would say the springs jerked around and arent sitting right. jack up the car, drop the rear end a bit and try to sit them in the way they should be. or maybe just get under there and beat them with a rubber mallet back into place.

thanks for the advice. i've already tried the mallet but haven't dropped the rear so i'll do that. i have a moser 12bolt in the rear could that have anything to do with it?

i'm pretty sure i bent the torque arm because both rear lower spring perches are leaning back and no longer level with the ground
