So... I dont know why this is happening or even to begin to know where to search. Every time I drive my car, I am fight the steering wheel. The car is not lowered. It has 205 tires all around instead of the 195 stock size. Every time i run over a set of train tracks that is not exactly perpendicular to the road my rear end seems like it hops or is trying to turn. Does any one know what the problem could be?

haha if you have the stock rearend try going about 95 around a turn and hit a bump i thought i was going into the gaurd rail when I first got my car.Its can just be the rearend like mine was when ever you would to hit something the right wheel even with the VLSD in it gets more power and likes to jump around.Best thing to do is get you a true LSD that will take care of it.

New shocks, and start looking into replacing the old worn out bushings.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. If I replace the rears, might as well replace the fronts. I will probably just get new shocks and get some lowering springs.
