I would check your LCA bushing again. If you track the car as much as you do i would go with race ends on them.

I literally just changed the bushings though. Just on Monday...

The ones I took out were perfect anyways, but replaced them regardless

Things to recheck:

1. Panhard bar: Tight and bushings?
2. UCA: Tight and bushings?
3. Recheck alignment

IT is just weird it does it on street tires, just not as bad


again, THANKS to everybody voicing your opinion

The only time my car ever tracked strange was when i didn't have a rear sway bar. So guess for me that's where my experience would lead me to look first.

However, you really should get LCA relocation brackets along with an adjustable panhard bar. They are a must for any track car.

Still running stock panhard with it lowered even stock setup the rear to the left alittle. You need adjustable panhard bar


I agree....There is likely more to your problem, but I think you'd be better off starting out with a car that tracks straight and the axle centered. You could be off as much as 1/2" at that drop.

Since you've ruled out a diff problem, I think something is causing your car to have more traction on one side than the other. That would explain why drag slicks exacerbate the problem. Check everything on your rear suspension carefully.

This same thing happens to me as well.

I'm lowered, aligned, BMR LCAs, relocation brackets, adj. panhard, and panhard brace. My bushings are fine, my panhard is tight, and my 4.30's are fine as well. However, I don't run drag radials and it also only happens in 5th. I never notice this happening in any other gear...?

So I am guessing this is not a "rare" issue I'm having here is it?

After talking with the BMR Techs for almost half an hour I am going to try the panhard bar. Its on;y 140 bucks and would make a good investment even if it doesnt fix the problem

Well, you can't start to fix things until everything else it right. So it seems that you'd want a panhard before you started to screw with other things. Only makes sense in the world of troubleshooting... ;)

Technically I should have one regardless with my 1.5" lowering springs.

If this doesnt fix it, the UCA and alignment will be next.


Here is to hoping the BMR Panhard bar fits with the Shelby diff girdle

Is your front sway bar still on the car?

My TA super lo pro girdle hit my UMI panhard. I had heard it wouldn't.

I don't run a front swaybar and have no problem.

Don't forget you need to level off those LCA so you are going to need relocation brackets as well.

Well I'll post up when I install the Panhard bar and give everything else another visual check

mine does it too.. i have lowers and relocation brackets.. did it before the brackets too. i also have the pan hard bar adjusted to center the axle.. it's even worse now that i have more power..

I also niticed that since the brackets the rear steps out pretty easy.. and im on nitto invos 285s in the rear. will catch me off guard sometimes.

Hmmmm, so maybe this is just a trait for our cars?

Gets worse with more and more power. There must be a way to stop this

Install a spool. No way one side can move without the other.

I thought that... But I have had the alignment done just last year after I was lowered. Everything was adjusted to spec

Do you have an adjustable PHR that will center the rearend properly now that you are lowered? I don't think an alignment will pick that up.
