"wiggly" from accelerating from a stop

[markus]

Get the Delrin Inserts from Bruno for the rear.... I forget the real name, but after I put them on the 540 it tightened up the rear end, no squirm at all.

BIG thanks to Bruno again for creating those.

****, my 540 does this for sure. Will that cause a shimmy on the freeway too (felt thru the car and not the steering), due to the play out back?

well i also need to get my wheels re-balanced since 2 of them have 2 weights on them. ugh i cant wait for spring to get my new wheels on.

yes, most describe it as "the rear end of the car steers itself"

yeah mine does that. prolly subframe mounts. mine feels like it has 4 wheel steering (like my old mazda).

no it doesnt really affect freeway driving. at least i dont notice it.
