Default reat wheels bounce up and down when i take off

I jsut started up my mustang over the weekend for the first time and i notice the rear wheels want to bounce up and down when i take off to fast instead of the usualy spin out i was expecting. Does any one know a fix to this?

Never had that problem. I would say your shocks are worn and possible check your tire pressure.

Your shocks and quad shocks are gone thats the only thing it could be other than the torque boxes are torn out of the frame that happens alot on stangs that are beat on too much

get yourself some good control arms and you wont need your quad shocks. youll notice a lot more traction as well
