Death wobble??

[dank GN]

I was driving back from the bates car show and a mustang felt like trying to race me on the fwy . So I get out in front and was going about 125-130 and the back end started to wobble . I did have a spare tire back there with other things . What would cause this ? I have new bushings ,airbags and boxed control arms

Have you ever checked your pinion angle?

Aerodynamics of the car is what happened. Donnie Wang had a lot of issues with his car once he started going really fast. Wait until you float the front end for the first time. Talk about a pucker factor at high speed.

No on the pinion angle I have a stick rear end though and yes I am trying to make a brick go as fast as possible lol

Been there and done that one time at about 140 when I went over a small dip that didn't seem too big at 60. I was surprised and very concerned about the fabric in my passenger seat.

Mine's pretty solid and projected launch speed would probably be over 165 if I ever drove it that hard.

I did find out the reason for having ended lug nuts. Closed end ones will work loose which is not good.

You getting your car ready for Noble?

God willing Phil. Still got a ton of work to do but it's getting a little closer.

Mine is ready to rock. Just need a Friday night when we don't have a tornado, a hail storm, or a torrential rain or all three at the same time.

I hope.

Sorry for the hijack

I have experienced this with low tire pressure on the track with slicks.

Ball joints will make it wander around a little, I think caster will make the steering a sketchy ride to. Both front end related but a those speeds everything should be harmonious. Drag radials?

Wheel spacers?

I would re-torque all the bolts and nuts on the upper and lower control arms.
My GN would "wobble" at speed..much to my shock I discovered loose bolts back there

i am going to double check all the control arms for loose bolts.i had street tires on.

You might as well check the pinion angle while you are down there.
