I have an 06 gt with 135k miles. When trying to go wot i get violent wheel hop in the rear. Feels like the whole car is shaking in the rear. I checked the panhard bar and its good. Would worn shocks create this?

You most likely have worn LCA bushings but you may as well also replace the other bushings in the UCA, panhard bar, anti-sway bar, and end links while you're there. If you still have the original shocks, replace those too.

Ok i surely will. I found out something new the other day. I got under the car to check the transmission mount and i can lift the transmission with my hand. Could the mount make the car shake so violently like that? Also another question. Im new to this model mustang. Are there any junkyard one piece driveshafts to be had for this car? And what about an replacement carrier bearing for the driveshaft? How can i replace that?

Possibly.

Not unless you're lucky enough to find a wrecked S197 with an aftermarket driveshaft.

It's a non-serviceable unit.

What's a cheap option? What about one from an 2010? V6? Would that work? That's the only thing i see in the junkyard
