    having issues in my rear ;) pls help!

    Ok, this car is really pissing me off beyond words!!! Can someone please help me out and give me some insight as to what my problem may be? Here is a list of the issues im running into:

    any time i engage/disengage the clutch when going into a new gear, the car jerks really hard. If im at a light and im going to turn either way, and im going into first and im trying to be kinda quick about it, it chatters, the whole car shakes and feels very unstable! When i hit a rough road or dips in the road, i can hear all the clunks, wheel hop from the rear more on the passanger side than anything. I wont even dare try to launch it cause im scared!! Here's a list of what ive got back there:
    Spohn- LCA's, adjustable PHB, relocation brackets, and tunnel brace mounted adjustable torque arm.

    Stock shocks and springs, swaybar and bushings. stock rear, driveshaft and tranny mount. Does anyone have any ideas what may be the cause of my problems?? The pinion angle is set at -1, relocation brackets are welded still, lca's are tight, phb is adjusted correctly (i think) and everything else is tight and in place. When I punch it the car feels like it shakes way too much, especially the tranny.....it doesnt feel right. any ideas? im gonna start swapping all sorts of shit here shortly.

    Recheck your pinion angle. My car did the same thing. I had the angle wrong. You have to have the front and rear end loaded. When i did my I only loaded the rear end and I wanted -3 it turned out to be -10 way to much.You will get more road vibration and noise this is normal.
