Car feels unstable when shifting at WOT

[McClane]

Maybe I'm just not used to how a 3 link feels, but my 2011 wobbles when I shift gears and chirp the tires during a wot run. It feels very unstable like the car is going to spin out on me. In my older Mustangs with similar power levels and tires whenever I shifted and the tires chirped the car would stay straight and was predictable. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my suspension?

Mine wobbles between shifts even with upgraded LCAs and UCA.

Not sure what u mean by wobbles. but compared to my turbo focus this thing feels VERY stable with a little tire spin between gears.

I am going to assume you're feeling the panhard bar. Get a watts link.

Not tech.

Is your car lowered? If so, did you install an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the rear axle?

I'm assuming the rear end is shifting out from under you on the shifts, right?

Yep only during shifts. When I launch it it feels fine. Stock height with aftermarket lca's and relocation brackets. Did it before they were installed as well. Maybe I'm feeling the rear push out from the panhard rod when the car squats after I shift and hit th gas again.

Truth, drive a turbod focus and your stang will feel incredible, i had a turbo 03 spi and that thing was unpredictable

I though you were at WOT? If you are letting off the gas when shifting you may be feeling the rear unwind, and then rap back up.

Curious as to why you would install relocation brackets on a stock height suspension?

 

[McClane]

To help with wheelhop.

To help with wheelhop.

Lca relocation brackets dont help with wheel hop persay they change the instant center of the rear when launching by changing the lca angle. (normaly needed to correct the angle on lowered cars)

What helps wheel hop is stronger lca with stiffer poly bushings.
