Uhhh, no but what year Mustang? You should start with some new gas shocks, good tires and an alignment. These three things are the cheapest improvements and almost a necessity on any Mustang with over 50k miles.

hahahaha...what do you mean 315's...what are they......i have a 2001 GT...its got a bout 45,000 miles on it....where can i find out more about solid rear axles.....
hes refferring to a set of 315mm wide tires out back, usually need to be mounted on a 10.5" rim. the larger surface area of the wheel means more grip.
solid rear is referring to the rear suspension, differential and drivetrain setup. IMO its great for straightline drag, but if youre looking to turn, you gotta put some money into it. mustangs really arent the corner carver from the factory, so you gotta do some work on them to make them stick in a turn. a set of better tires, lower control arms, panhard bar, will all help to keep the car where it needs to be in a turn.

its teh nature of the design of our rear suspension. by 315s he is referring to 315/35/17 tires, they will not fit on your stock wheels.
stock mustangs of the sn95 variety have about a 1" rear differential lateral movement through corners. thats is why through a corner you have to constantly correct. the thrust angle is moving throughout the turn. a panhard, such as the one i have from Maximum Motorsports as well as quality rear Lower Control Arms helps cure the problem you are experiencing.

I asked a very similar question in a different thread, about what causes that rearend shake when hitting seams in a jughandle, for example.

want to fix the problem? read my sig, end of story. where to buy? www.stangsuspension.com www.evolutionmsport.com for the trilink. happy modding.
on a side note about the C/Os... i do hear they are noisy, however i will be grabbing them in the next 1-4 months (depending on how much the garage costs) and have many idea of how to insulate them. but i mainly only hear the rear is loud, never really a lot about the front... but either way i have ideas to eliminate noise.
