i know where you are coming from donuts are fun. but i suggest stopping until you upgrade suspension. stock isnt made to handle it and will cost you alot in the end, my bimmer is a good example of that. as for fixing your problem. im not sure if 240's have sway bar in the back or panhard bars but i would start checking their bushings and links. good new is it doesnt sound like you broke your diff.
