simple... get a posi rear end. Get one out of a junk car closest to your year. direct swap in and can be done right in your garage.

if I remember right also by putting stiffer springs in the rear or a bigger anti-roll bar in the front will help the issue a bit also
but the LSD will be one of the better options
better grip for a drag launch and also when going into a turn will give the power to the outside wheel with the weight rather then the inside one

Do you mean oversteer (rear of the car kicks out on a turn) or understeer (front end "plows", you turn the wheel but the car seems to keep going straight)?

what are you tryin to say tomp?

 

I'm wondering what he means by "take a turn and your rear end catches up a second later"- oversteer, or understeer.

its like it catches up with me. im not talking aobut losing traction and makin the back end break lose or rip the tires. someone told me to just buy new bushings and this could solve the problem...

I think I know what you mean, is it like when you also swirve a little and then you feel the back end shift? Cause I noticed that too. Right after I got my tires. I used to have pirrelli R 15 50 p215 Z rated, then got daytona R15 60 P 225 not Z rated And noticed it started doing that. I'm guessing cause of the height of the tires, the walls are a bit taller and don;t have much stability on turns I think that's what started causing the swaying

 

i have stock tire sizes on there...

Try the energy suspension polyurethane torque arm mount. I threw one on when I was putting my rebuilt 700r4 transmission into my car. It really firmed the butt of the car up around turns; it eliminated that "wobble" I used to feel. It was a definate seat-of-the-pants improvement, and only ran me $30. If you check out http://www.energysuspension.com, you can find the application data for the part. They make a few; GM changed the torque arm over the years.
