hello,i am an 18 year old kid andjust recently joined this forum.i have a 2004gt with a BBK CAI,BBK subframe connectors,eibach sportline springs,BBK C/C plates,and Flowmaster cat back.but there is a problem.whenever i do a burnout in a parking lot or at a stoplight and then drive off, my car seems to pull towards the right side like my car is fish tailing. do you think there is a problem with my rear axel or something else.any help would be great

Stop doing burnouts. Problem solved.

Any time you break the tires loose you're going to fishtail a bit.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, the right side of the rear axle is shorter in length than the left side? That is why it always pulls right in a burn-out.

yeah, i would probably just not do them.burnouts are pretty harsh on the brakes anyway

It actually has to do with the crowning of the roads. Most roads are crowned with a high point in the center. Therefore, when you spin the tires (drastically reducing friction), the rear of your car will want to go to the point with the lowest potential.

Phsyics 101 baby!

Its not crowning or one axel is shorter than the other, its because of the torque being imparted to the car's body through the drivetrain. Its the same reason on a drag suspension you put the air bag in the right rear spring.

i'm confused, is it pulling to the right after the fact or is it simplygoing sideways because you're peeling out?

Both axles are the same length, i just had mine out last weekend. they were different lengths in the 9" rear end.

stop driving like a moron and you won't have this problem. burnouts are for the drag strip, not red lights.
