I drove Sam's and there's no comparison to my car. Mine just SUCKS. I got something funky goin' on that causes it to lose grip in left hand turns. BIG TIME.

We really couldn't figure it out.
Also found a bad hub(s) bad steering rack, and I gotta swap rearend housings because of a PHR bracket trying to rip apart. Looks to me, after closer inspection, that it would have taken apart the big spring bracket too.

What a PITA. Used ALOT of a perfectly good set of Kuhmo's too.


As far as the rearend, I would just reweld the bracket back onto the axle unless there has been damage to the housing like chunks removed; at least you cought it before it became a major problem. Are you lossing grip in the front or the back on the left handers? Replace the bad stuff and try again, those things just might be your problem. At least you got to drive Sam's car, it's always nice to have something to compare too.
