So in normal driving, i'm moving, clutch in to shift (all the weight transfers forward), Shift gears, release clutch, then thump. so are you saying that when you shift and release the clutch and start moving again, the rear doesn't expierence load? This can happen when i shift from first to second at 2,500-3,000 rpms, how can get wheel hop going that slow? It tends to not thump at higher RPM's, which is strange from what your telling me. What else could be making that noise? Diff. needs replacement?

I almost tore apart my diff for no reason. p.s. ummm I'm not familiar with where these bushings are, could you give a better idea, and do they need to be pressed in or can I do it with a little elbow grease.

Ok, i really don't have this problem, sometimes i get wheel hop, but not that bad, however i did pick the subframe spacers/collars to improve the rear suspension.
(FYI- '91 s13 hatch w/ almost 170k
WITH:
Autodynamic Tension Rods
Nismo Power Brace
Nismo Adj front Shocks
Cusco Camber Plates
Megan Racing front and rear Strut Bars
JIC rear Coilovers
J-Speed Traction Rods
J-Speed RUCAs
Cobra Racing Seat
Sparco 4-point Harness)
I've already broken 2 bolts while doing the rear suspension (RUCA's and traction rods) and (i think, or it looks like) the subframe bolts r welded to the car, and i'm worried about breaking those while doing the install, 'cuz it looks easy as hell as long as the nuts come off like they should. Any have problems like this? Or am i just worrying too much?
Thanks,
Jay
