I got the same issue going on right now and i also have progress springs. I just replaced endlinks seem to help a little bit but still there. I have yet to figure it out.

i have the same thing going on....honestly i think it's the axels....not that they are bad or anything....but the angle changed when we lowered our cars. so that may be why. when i'm under normal acceleration its not there....but if i accelerate hard.....ohhhh yeah it's there

Yeah that what i have been thinkin myself. Same here under hard accel can feel it and in low gear and low speeds can feel it. I know i got a bad bushing on the control arm as my buddy pointed it out when aligning the car. I was thinking could be a factor.

You mean the steering wheel kinda goes back and forth? I had a theory about it - how many of you guys have LSD?

I dont have an lsd but its not the steering wheel. Its more like front of the car itself. Ive checked everything and even have had different wheels and tires on and still there. Mine feels like coming from passanger front side.

My car kinda shimmies a bit when I get on it - I just chalked it up to not having an LSD and thus not distributing the torque equally between the wheels.
