    now that i have dealt with a high tourqe light car a posi rear and big sticky tires will make as much difference as anything. if your breaking loose just tooling around ,traction bars may not help without the ehlp of the tires and both axles spinning

    A front-motor rear-drive vehicle will twist the frame in such a manner that the left front and right rear get light on acceleration. The right front and the left rear get heavy. In the past, I have had good luck with using an air shock on the right rear only and adjusting pressure to the point where I get two equal black marks on the pavement. Of course, this is only a down and dirty fix until you get some suspension improvements, posi, tires and so forth.
