Default What would make my car unstable at WOT?

I've been having a problem with my car being wobbly wot from a dig or from a roll. I took it to have it checked out and found that I had a bad tie rod end on the driver's side. I had it replaced and the front end aligned. The car felt really good and solid again driving around town, but today when I punched it from a roll the car felt unstable and I had to let out. When I got home I checked every part of the suspension in the rear of the car and everything is tight. The panhard rod and cross member, LCAs,torque arm, and shocks are all tight, I don't know what else to check. What in the hell could be causing this problem?

bad shock?

What do you mean by unstable. Can you tell if it was up front or in the rear, or stearing?

Sounds like worn shocks to me. My rear use to wobble on slight turns with the stock DeCrappers. Try pushing the car side to side in front and rear and look for axle play or a bad bushing or a cracked TA. That's all I got. Hope it helps.
