time BEFORE my mods, whenever I got into "trouble," meaning the back end was coming loose under power, if I let my foot off the gas the car would snap back straight or at least let me regain control. When I wrecked, I was coming out of a sweeping right turn and applying power. For the first time ever the car snapped into a wicked over steer. The steering wheel jerked so hard to full right that I lost my grip. I still wonder is something broke in the steering linkage before I lost control, but prob not. I tried to turn back into the slide but it was too late. I hit a six inch curb perfectly sideways - front and rear driver side wheels hit at the same time, along with the frame rail.
