Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Snow or ice in your wheels? Or maybe your balance in your right front tires is off, like a weight fell off. Inspect the wheel for anything outta place and try swapping the right front wheel with a different one and see if the problem stays with the wheel. If not, then you can eliminate that wheel/tire.

    or .... sticking brake caliper.... easy check. jack it up and put it in neutral, check to see if the wheel spins freely.

    Hey Guys...thanx for all the input..had my mechanic ova today and it ended up being the axle...slapped a new one in & we were smooth rolling. Now all i gotta do is Mod this engine up a lil bit and throw some nice rims on it and im good to go.

    You'll quickly find mods for an L36 don't quite return much power for the money invested.

    U bend delete and a tune then call it a day IMO.
