    Ok so ever since I did the swap in my car there is a problem that has arisen. On hard take offs, even mild ones the whole front end chatters, only sometimes though. If you take off nice and slow it never seems to do it.

    The ideas that came to mind where one my tires, there very bald. So I thought they might be losing traction, but I peeled out before the swap and it didn't feel like this. The problem also happens under mild take offs so I'm not sure.

    Another idea was the driver half shaft might be bent. The car I got the swap out of hit a guardrail on the driver side, not super hard but the tie-rod was bent. The splines on the shaft looked good didn't think to see if it was bent. And if it is why only on mild to hard take offs and not all the time?

    These where the two I have been thinking about, thought I would post and see what you guys could come up with. Thanks for any help.

    Yea everything was torqued down that needed to be, was thinking of going over some things again though. If something is loose it should do the same thing on hard braking, and nothing happens then though.

    It does kinda feel like a TC locked up but there are 0 codes. I am going to checkout the mounts and the axle end nuts.
