Couple of thoughts. Broken torque arm mount. Broken trans mount. More miles on the car ( engine breaking in ). Weather change - it's colder now. All 1LE right? Then all harder durometer rubber. FWIW, if you can swing 2 bills, get the G2 LCA's from Lou G. I've went through no less than 4 sets of LCA's in my 99 through road racing etc., and these simply WORK. NO wheel hop.

Or you could try a set of relocation brackets for the LCA's. IMO that would work best.

How many miles are on the car? If it's low, insist on the dealer to fix it! C'mon, you have a new car, everything should be covered under your warranty...

I had taken the car to the shop earlier last month for the rear whining. They told me it wasn't loud enough, however i could hear it over the radio. I crawled under there today to see if any mounts or anything were broken because of the wheelhop. The pinion seal is leaking bad.... Could there be something wrong with my posi as well, with the wheelhop and 1 wheel burnouts???
