i was told its from the stock mount being so flexible, the wheel hop was front the tranny twisting an putting a strain on the torque arm, which changed the pinion angle. my buddy owns a race team and he is the one who told me this. weather that theory is true idk but it fixed the problem and like i said that was the only thing did to the suspension at that time

if you have stock motor mounts you may be dealing with a cracked transmission housing here in the future, due to the transmission now trying to fight against the torque of the natural engine movement
