Rear end moves When I push the gas in maybe 1/4 throttle, the rear end moves... the right side feels like it moves forward and the car steers off to the left. I peaked under the car with my cell phone and the LCAs are in the same holes and everything else seems to be bolted in good. Is this just maybe a wavetrac thing? Kinda stumped here.

The powdercoat on the panhard bar has some wrinkles in it. Not sure if that means it's cracked or not. I don't see any real cracks or nothing. I forgot how flexible these things are but I can bend mine kinda easy. Everything else checks out. Possibly a bad wheel bearing? The passenger side is leaking. I suppose I'll pull the axle out and take a look at it while I figure out a way to get to stop leaking. Maybe silicone?
Maybe I just got used to the spool making me go straight everywhere I go but my 10 bolt never took me to one side or the other so I don't know.

Today I noticed that when I put the car in reverse and start to back it up, you hear some kind of small noise and the right (passenger) side of the car seems to lift up. You can tell while looking in the rear view that it comes up. Think it's something to do with the differential? Or would this still be the cause of a bad LCA bushing?
All I did was move the car. I haven't had the time or schedule to really get under there and check everything. Snow is all over and we are expecting another 3-6" today.

Very possible it could be a wavetrac issue but I would hope not since that thing is almost a grand. Start with all simple and free test to eliminate the easy stuff. LCA busings, tranny mount, TA bolts tightened etc.. Also pm Bob@Brute Speed and see if he has had any customers with similar issues. I really think based off what you have said so far that it is one of two things. 1. Diff 2. LCA bushings
FYI - Your post #9, if you mean a "pop" noise coming from the right side and the car seems to lift up? This is very similar to how my car reacted when I broke my Tru-Track then of course replaced it with a spool.

Mine is brand new. It has less than 50 miles on it. It drives great under normal acceleration. It doesn't matter how easy you go in reverse though. I'll check the car all out and get my new wheels, tires, panhard bar, and LCAs on before I pull the rear end.
I bought it from Bob at brute speed. I'm sure a bunch of sponsors have checked this thread but don't have any ideas so they did not post.
