Mine did that. After i had the BFG's on my car for 6 months all those hard launches screwed up and twisted my Control arms. you might need new ones.

you can also take it to an alignment shop and tell them you want a thurst angle alignment, or a 2 wheel. theyll set your front wheels in line with the rears and will be able to tell you if something is wrong with the rear end, like if the axle housing shifted, broke a control arm etc.

Ya I would say the bushings in your control arms are junk!
