    Wheel hop?

    Anytime I accelerate from a stop, the rear right wheel starts shaking and you can feel it throughout the entire car. It's fine after that though. The car also seems a bit bouncy when driving slow but that might just be my suspension. Wheels are balanced so it isn't that. I'm thinking rtab, subframe bushing or diff. I don't wanna just start throwing parts at it though. Any ideas on what it can be?

    A couple things worth mentioning. Car is automatic, diff is open, all suspension/steering parts in the front are new ( minus swaybar stuff)

    Rear has 6" coilover springs(700lbs) with no adjusters. Rear shocks are w124 bilstein sports. No other things were changed back there.

      Bald tires have no grip.

          That's exactly what it feels like but the tires are brand new 595 rsr's. It did it on my bcaps too.

              My 240SX did this when the subframe bushings were completely destroyed. If you're gonna replace one of the bushings back there you may as well drop the subframe and do the offset subframe bushings, RTABs, and diff bushing all at once.

                I had the same problem with my e30 and I was told possibly the driveshaft, shocks, bushings, or axles. You should have a shop look at it if you can't figure it out yourself. If you can find the problem props too you! =) hope that helps check those things out!

                  Get a jack get down there and check the bushings sound like the right side went bye bye. If the subframe stuff is good maybe the wheel bearing? No whirring noise I assume to rule that out?

                    Blown shocks would cause this.

                        It could be worn out rear shock mounts or improperly installed aftermarket rear shock mounts.

                          Checked the diff bushing, it's toast. Not sure about the subframe bushings the look like they might be bad too.

                          Rear shock mounts are billet and seemed to be be in good condition

                            My sense of feel sucks haha. Went to JMP turns out it's the csb. Going to do the entire rear end soon anyways though.
