Possible fix from previous owner with a wrong part??

Very cool!

The diff fluid suggestion from L99CAMA2011 is a good idea.

The difference in axle shaft size is to help reduce wheel hop. It alters the harmonics and wheel hop is a harmonic instability.

I've had this happen to me. When you did the lowering springs did you remove the toe arms, whatever the one on the front of the knuckle is? The front bolt if not properly torqued and I found Loctited, it will back out. Your hub will start to slide on it, which screws the rear geometry up. You will get tramlining vibration and rear steering. Sometimes it will find a spot and stay there and be happy, others it will just decide to shift somewhere on the axis of that bolt and your heart jumps in your throat. Pull the wheels, pull the bolts, break clean the piss out of the threaded holes, apply loctite, and torque to the correct spec. http://www.spohn.net/support/questio...ications+chart

Bad things happen when you don't tighten suspension bolts.

I got energy suspension lube in the hole so it didn't stay torqued. Live and learn. Apparently I also need to learn how to type, its Brake Clean. lol...
