traction isn't the problem i can hardly spin the 275 proxes 4's. but coming out of a corner i feels like the car steers itself.

Alright so i installed the upper and lowers with polly bushings. Now, not only does the rearend still twist under the car it squeaks because of the bushings. I know you can't grease poly bushings, what can you do to lube them?? and why does the rear end still move under the car? It's like in 4th you can floor it, the car points to the left, enough you have to steer to go straight, and when you let off it kicks hard to right, back to being straight. what lets the axle move like this?

Without getting to technical, the stock setup doesn't have anything to control the rear axles side to side movement, so under hard cornering the rear end walks from side to side, giving that feeling that it's steering itself. The way to fix this would be a panhard bar or a watts link.
