88 GT rear end walking?


Maybe walking isnt the best word to describe it but.......

Stock 1988 5.0 GT. When you start to take off under normal driving conditions, you can ( IMHO ) almost feel the passenger rear tire leave before the driver side. When shifting into second its almost the same feeling, and the same with 3rd. I have no desire to lower the car. it is a bone stock, garage kept 88 GT 5mt. It is damn near in mint condition. But due to its age im just wondering if its time to replace the springs/struts? This is the best way i know how to describe what is going on. Just purchased this a few days ago and just want a nice/comfortable ride. visual inspection was performed and to the naked eye i dont see any bushings that are bad etc.. that would indicate something is broke. But that doesnt mean anything. but it is driving me nuts. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yea id say check the control arm bushings, and or replace the lowers with some nice aftermarket ones and see if that takes care of it. Inspect your torque boxes while your down there
