Well, I need some input. Today, I did my first burn out in my car. Stopped on a back road, brought rpms up to 3k, dumped the clutch, tires started squealing, broke free, then all of a sudden, my car started shaking so hard and violently that I thought it was going to disintegrate into a million pieces!! I mean it was so bad that I will never do it again until I know what is wrong with it and its fixed.


Any ideas? My buddy said most likely u joints or rear blown rear shocks. But the shocks are brand new Bilstein HD's.

sounds like wheel hop to me, road surface, tire condition, tire pressure, worn rear shocks etc. all play a part in causing wheel hop

Traction control?

Traction control is tuned out with the SCT X4. It was like no wheel hop I ever felt in any other cars Ive burned out in before. When I say violent, I mean I cant believe my fenders, door, hood, bumpers and trunk lid are still on my car.

Think I found the problem! ! My quad shocks are gone. As in missing, uninstalled by the previous owner. Gone.

I just ordered new Bilstein quad shocks from Summitt.

missing quads will do it lol looks like you will fix the problem for sure

F*** the quads. Get some new lca's, even better fix.

And why'd it take so long to get around to doing a burnout? That's like the first thing you should do, lol.

Never had an opportunity. Always cars driving around when I want to do it. I live in a small town filled with tattle tales unfortunetly. But I was finally on a back road with no one in sight so I said, this is it. Lol.
