Hey I’ve had this problem for a while now, if I do a burnout, hit a bump when accelerating or at high speed my rear end slams up and down vibrates side to side and is quite uncomforting lol,
I’ve tried both my summer and winter suspension and it still is doing it…
Any suggestions on what I can look at would be great
Thanks!

Check your trans/engine mounts.
Torn mounts can make this sound aswell. More so the trans mount.

subframe bushings are probably shot. I’ve seen them bad enough that you’ll have a little clean spot around the chassis above the bushing where the subframe slaps it

The shocks are likely blown, its a brutal shake/chatter that makes your cringe?
New shocks or coil overs will make these symptoms go away almost completely.

Its pretty brutal and yes I cringe, it does it both with my fairly new tokico shocks and my stock suspension that are mint that I just bought this winter, gonna check the subframe

+1
I can attest to the feeling. I cringed as well. Its probably one of the few variables that could’ve explained why I crashed my first 240…
Swap your subframe bushings NAO!

I figured it was the bushings, i was hoping to get the collars that just slip in cause I dont know if i have the skills/tools to switch the bushings, but if the bushings are that toast i dont think the collars will have much effect, or am i wrong?

Th question to ask is: are you in such a situation that you can drop the subframe yourself an transport it somewhere to have the bushings pressed in? That will save you hundreds of dollars,

Anyways look up some write ups, maybe try and tackle it yourself.

Labour man. 75-85 an hour. At that rate getting your brakes done cost hundreds too, even though it’s not an intensive job.
