2013 3.7 rear end sliding
About a month ago I started to notice that my mustang would swerve a little whenever I would shift, let go of the accelerator or press on the accelerator. At first I thought it was nothing but it’s only getting worse now. It literally feels like the car is sliding like when you do a pull without traction control turned on but driving normal.. last night i did a little 2-3 gear pull(about 70% throttle) and when I let go of the gas the car almost drifted and the traction control light came on, on a straight road. If anyone knows anything I need help ASAP.

Tire wear or tire age.
What at kind of tires you have and how old are they? I’ve found that most tires will begin to gradually lose their capabilities at about the halfway mark of their tread and onward or when they get weather worn. Here in AZ, tires tend to only last about 3 or 4 summers before the heat affects the compounds and traction starts to become a factor. Regardless, tires should be replaced about 6 or 7 years in due to dry rot. Dry rot causes tires to harden and crack.
Summer tires exposed to feezing temps also can be adversely affected.
