Thought I'd try to pick your guys' brains a bit on an issue I'm having. 2008 Mustang GT with mods in my sig (doesn't include my poly/heim LCAs/panhard). Vehicle has seen a handful of autox and drag days with one road course event and has 70,000 miles on it.
This spring i noticed a weird "shimmy" in the back end of my car when down shifting aggressively or letting off the gas at a high rpm. It is very consistent in that it will shift towards the driver side when throttle is applied and shift towards the passenger side when throttle is released.
I first thought my issue might lied in the suspension geometry/weight transfer but the car will do it in cruise around 45mph in 5 gear blipping the throttle which makes me believe it is more driveline related.
The LSD still locks as i can do a burnout so I don't know if it's clutch pack related. To make things more interesting there is a fairly loud "howling" noise that becomes apparent around 30 mph that i've determined is not the tires through a wheel swap.
Sorry for the long post guys but has anyone seen something like this before? Going to tear into it tonight and could use some words of encouragement/direction! Thanks!
