Default rear end twist?

HI all! Im new here so if im posting in the wrong area please let me know. Heres my problem hope someone can help as most of my problems no one can give me a straight answer 4. Any way The Pony is an 88 GT and I was at a light as the light turned green i got on it real good and the har did a good hop as I have been dooing the "one weel peel" I thing the tire that gripped walked itself forward and caused the ouher to go back. Now the rear is all f#$%ed up!
I thought it might be the lowec control arm but after changing them the rear went straight but still wabbled back to the same way. the upper arms look as stock ones should but im not sure how or why this is happening? If any one has any idea please help. I want my baby back!

I checked all the bolts and bushings on the upper arms. they have some play but it doesnt look like enough to make the rear sway enough 4 the tire 2 rub on the frame? it doesnt look like the mounting to the frame is bent? I realy dont know what else 2 do but change the upper arms and hope that does it. I realy cant think that it could be anything else?????????

check the torque boxs for cracks and tears look close also at the upper arms as I have seen them tear away from the floor.also the bolt holes at the end of the arms at the torque boxs you may have to take the nuts off the bolts but I have seen the holes wobble out and get oval insted of round.
