Default Paging NBM MIKEY: Why does my 9" move around?

The car handles like a fish and I can see the right rear wheel pinching in closer to the front of my wheelwell when I have to turn right to park. Sum'bitch is all over the road.

It has been like this since I picked the car up, but I figured it was normal and shrugged it off.

Call my cell tomorrow 6303797169. Thanks sweet cheeks.

does the car have a swar bar at all on it? might be a dumb question but not sure if you put a bar of any kind on it yet.

Aside from the 9" itself and SFC's, the car is fully stock suspension/chassis. I have not removed any suspension component that wasn't on the car from day 1. Thanks for the input guys.

I have not had a spool.

I think you need some good lower control arms Chris.

Are you still a spool? The rearend might jump around when taking tight turns.

Yes he is, thats why i was thinking its possible for the lca bolts to come loose but i wouldnt know till i looked at it. Spools + a lot of turning = lots of vibration...

Yeah it is. I expect the hopping, but the rear end shouldn't do any moving forward/back other than up and down with the road.

Easy look. If you can just jump under there and look at your bolts on the rearend side and see if you see any difference in length coming out of the nut side that might tell you its loose.
