Did you get an adjustable panhard bar to adjust the real axle shift with the drop? Your thrust angle may be off after the drop and the adj. panhard is what you need to correct it.

When you lowered it did you change the LCAs? If not it might be the LCA bushing. I have the J&M non-adj. LCAs and after the dyno tune, I scared CR with a hole shot in light traffic that went streight as an arrow.

Ok here what i did today not sure how accurate this is
Made up two strings with a lug nut on each and taped them to the rear fender over the center of the wheels and measured the distance from the string to the center of the rim
Driver side 1 1/4"
Passenger side 1 3/4"
Done this in the garage but the floor slopes to the right because of the floor drain
So i moved out on to the driveway and measured again
Driver side 1 3/8 "
Passenger side 1 5/8 "
So is their a better way to check the alignment
and if the way i checked it is good enough does this mean that this is the problem and i need to get a adjustable panhard bar
Thanks
Ron

Its close enough. there are more accurate ways but that good. Your 1/4" towards the driver side. So you should get an adjustable panhard bar and re-center the rear.

You can get an actual plumb bob and measure. Key is the completely flat surface. But sounds like yours is not far enough out to even worry about.

Sometimes, it can be a product of how you are gripping the steering wheel when you are shifting.

So true. As the car moves your hand may pull the steering wheel just a little and then as you shift even more.

sounds like a lower control arm problem..........if the problem does exist in the rear, the axle is moving forwards/backwards somehow...........that is if it isnt the driver jerkin' the wheel around, i do that from time to time lol
