Rear toe arm would be my guess. Get an alignment and non-dumbasses should be able to tell you what's causing the problem if they can't bring it into spec.

This might sound stupid but, did you check your tire pressure? I used to drive home after the track with my drag radials at like 12psi. When I did, the rear always felt loose and fishy.

Tire pressure is fine, was doing it before, and after the new tires were put on..

just check all your rear suspension components and such

I'm running sportlines on agx's too.

Im prolly wrong, but do you have LSD? becuase if you dont, when you hit the bump you loose tracktion to the spinning wheel??

Go buy a Haynes manual, it's like $20, and it will tell you how to check everything and what to look for.

well if you look down there, and something is broken you could probably tell just by common sense

what spring rate are the sportlines? gr-2s are really designed to use your stock spring. if you have an s13 like the other guy said its going to suck donkey balls because it is so old. it probably needs new bushings and everything.
