[BLLDOGG]

well, i went drag racing friday and got 15 runs in. well afterwards, my rear seems to be riding alot ruffer. i feel bumps alot more. anyone have some ideas of what might have happened. i didnt notice anything break at the track. thanks in advance

When you launch, the rear has to "squat" down. Are you on stock springs and shocks? How many miles are on them? Upon a particularly hard launch it's possible (never heard of it happening before) that you put too much stress on some old components.

i have 73,000 miles and they r stock

Get new ones.

well i have been told that stock one r really good for drag racing. what should i get?

Possibly the Torque arm bushing- mine was completely destroyed after three runs, and the car is a 2000 with 30,000 miles on it. I need to get a poly bushing, they are cheap. The next time you can look under the car (when it's on jackstands or whatever) check all of the bushings on the rear, a good hard launch will eat them up.

Start with the easiest thing and check tire pressure [img]smile.gif[/img]

i did raise it the night after but it was only at 27 and i havent noticed anything since. but i havent drove it since then until i just now drove it down the main road along my niehborhood and it seemed better, even though i wasnt paying attention cause i was running to the conoco. so i'll pat attention later. you may have hit it on the head 95Batmobile.
