Default rear end shudder during tight corners under acceleration

Ever since i put a poly torque arm mount on my WS6, ive noticed a shudder/vibration/wheel hop (as if the rear wheels are rubbing or boucing) every time i accelerate through a very tight corner, like turning onto a road from a stop.

I recently switched out the stock TA/poly bushing combo with a Random Tech Adjustable torque arm (set to -2* pinion angle) and the shudder is still there. Other suspension mods already on the car are bmr LCAs, bilstein HD shocks and an adjustable PHR.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I have the same problem, though my suspension is completely stock and I'm pretty sure my 10 bolt is checkin out.

the torque arm bushing is loose. tighten it. mine had the same problem and that solved it. while youre down there go ahead and double check all your other suspension bolts too.

I'll go recheck the torque on all the bolts so see if that is the problem.

If it is actually some problem with the rear-end, is there a test you can do to know for sure?
