On takeoff and gear change? Could be your diff bush. Maybe try Pedders for one of those $14 safety checks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be replacing mine with a super pro branded bush, adjusting driving style is probably why I havent killed my BA yet after 20,000 really really hard kilometers bringing it over 150,000 now (like multiple sets of tyres shredded up lots of donuts and yeah general boosting around heh).

Try Superpro or white line. What tyres are you using and what suspension setup do you have? Get some half decent tyres like Nitto Invos and you should notice a change in grip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 9d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 03/07/13 02:25 PM Share Posted 03/07/13 02:25 PM (edited) Expect to get your wallet out for a complete bush replacement front and rear! Helps control brake shudder, sloppy handling and axle tramp. To some degree driveline clunks as well but these seem to have a lot even from factory.A tip is to replace the front shock to control arm bush with standard rubber not a harder aftermarket or it makes the ride very noisy.PS you're lucky, this thread seems to be full of actual advice, we haven't gone way off topic....yet.
