I wanted to get some more opinions on this before I go buy new tools that I cant reall afford right now if this is a seudo normal problem.
Do any of you guys get a tail wiggle under had acceleration? When im in 2,3 or 4th gear and at 70% throttle or more the cars tail wiggles left to right and back again mabey 3 or four times between 3K rpm and when I go shift at 6K. At first I thought it was the car searching for traction but I have tried it with the TC on as well and it still does it without turning on the "engauged" light on the cluster so the TC isnt kicking in. Since I have never had a car with this much power and an IRS I thought it was normal cause its done it since I have owned it and has never gotten any worse. I have driven 5000+ miles like this and hope I havent hurt her
The guys at SVTP told me that mabey my hub nut has loosened itself and may have caused dammage to the spline on the hubs Or it may just be loose and will be an easy fix. The whole thing is to me it just feels like bushing compliance On the picture I included I thought the bushings I circled in red would flex enough that I could move that tire a hair if I pushed on it but they said no.
How they had me test is was to get the rear in the air and grab the wheel at the 9 and 3 oclock position and try to wiggle it. It took all my strength but I can move it mabey 1mm total but it makes no noise and recenters itself when I back off on the force. I hope its just loose. Gonna see if my friend has the right size stuff at his shop tomorrow and will let me do it there I need a 36mm socket and a tq wrench that can go to 250ftlbs cause mine only goes to 180 or 200
So I guess my question is, does your Cobras do this as well? Have you had this issue and found it was a loose hub nut? Any input would be greatly appreciated
