Bad rear end shudder, need help When I put my A4 into drive (not over drive) and speed up to 55-60 and then back off I can feel a noticable shudder in the rear end, this will happen at any higher speed too, if im cruising at 85 and downshift into drive (im not thinking straight right now, drive is 4th gear?) it shudders harder. Today I took her up to 140 on the way home from work and the shudder needs to be fixed, it was really strong & much louder and i can feel it more up by the tranny, it seems to disapear 135-160 when i dont have my foot into it. The other thing that is bugging me and im not sure if its related, when i spin the tires in reverse I get REAL bad wheel hop... how do i fix that?
I have a lowered car, LCA, LCA relo-brackets, adj panhard and aftermarket torque arm. I had someone measure it for me and they said it was -1.... but it doesnt make sense. what do i need to do?

i dont have any trouble with the trans? I was thinking a weak u-joint but i checked them and they look good and arent loose. maybe the pinion angle was off but it was measured at -1, maybe the drive shaft is off balance, or could the rear axle not being centered properly cause this?

Im going to check my tranny mount, I replaced it with a energy about 45K ago, maybe its craked or something... I only feel the shudder in the tranny when im doing 130 or faster? feels like it moves up the drive shaft
