    Ruined shocks, springs or brakes?

    Also a word to the wise, dont mention doing burnouts here. You'll get flamed off the board.

    Makes it harsh when there are totally legal competitions for burnouts.

    Its called axle tramp, my VN would do it like crazy in the dry and really shake the shit out of the whole car to the point that it wasnt worth it lol (buick/T5/spool). I never got around to fixing it but I would start with new/harder control arm bushes (VS ute = live axle afaik).

    Leaf spring or coil?
    If leaf you can get tramp bars or what ever you want to call them. Preloads the spring so it doesn't bind when it gets torqued up.
