anyone have this problem, when i am drag launching, everything is fine, but when i get down to the end of the track and let off the gas, the rear end of the car shifts hard to the right, is this from the panhard rod? anyone else have this problem?

I had a shimmy when I was letting off at the top end. It was really quite scary. Then it was happening anytime above 30, especially if I hit a bump. Turns out both wheel weights had fallen off!

So check your wheel weights. I would also check the panhard bar and support, as that's what keeps the rear end centered and controls side to side movement.

I had something similiar to that happen and one of the bushings in my LCR was falling a part
