Issues with my rear end "walking/torquing" - Need advice

Don't know if this is related but another person on another forum was having a shimmy at higher speeds and the part was machined wrong.

Drivers side rear axle flange was machined incorrectly at the manufacture.

I finally found a dealer to put the car on a lift and run it up to 50+ mph you could watch the wheel move side to side 2" at least.

Smooth at well over 100mph now, finally.

And everybody thought I was crazy, that may be true LOL but I was RIGHT!!!

I had a similar issue...... With drag radials and a Detroit locker out back the car would feel as if pushed toward the outside of a turn in the rear when cruising on parkways at speed when I would give it some throttle. I installed a Watts link. Problem solved for my application....

Detroit locker will push or pull some in turns
