Red face Feels Like Something is LOOSE

When i get on the throttle it feels like my rearend is trying to roll out from under the car ! What is the deal ? Bad Torque arm ? Worn bushings ? Broke LCA ? It is a 01 ta m6 with stock 10 bolt.

Almost got enough for my s60 but i want to make it last till i get it lol

Thanks to anyone with info

Probably time to get under the car and tighten bolts and look for anything broken. But it does sound like either a torque arm or LCA issue.

Could your TA bushing be shot? Or maybe it's loose? It seems like a bump under the bottom of the car could be the TA hitting the body or something.

Could be a bunch of different things, your best option is to get under the car and look everything over.

Could be...
Tranny mount
Motor mounts
TA mount
loose TA
LCA bushings
PHB bushing
Bad U joint
blown shocks
low tire pressure
and how knows what else.

A bump under your floorboard could be your torque arm, but also could be your Y pipe slamming into the floorboard also.......... Definatly climb under there and check things, could be a number of things to include a busted TA

i had the same problem a couple of times lol, first time it was Y-pipe and TA, my engine and tranny mounts were ripped and shot, replaced them with poly mounts and it fixed it, later down the line i ended up gettin UMI LCA and adjustable torque arm and 1 1/4 sway bar, i still have a slight thump when hittin the gas in mid gear and if i hit a bump something bangs around a little, idk if its exhaust or what but id check ur mounts and bolts first
