Passenger Rear Scrubbing?

Alright so over the last couple of days my passenger rear has been scrubbing over small bumps and light throttle. The setup I am running was pushing the limits, but for over a month it has not scrubbed until recently. The car gets drag raced on friday nights, about 7k rpm launches. Do you think i twisted something or maybe its some bushings?

Does your FD have stock shocks? I've had FD's in the past do the same when they have a blown shock. It becomes more prominent as the weather turns colder.

Look and see if you have any visable oil leaking from the shock if you haven't already.

I think the best thing for you to do is actually get under the car and visually inspect the crap out of everything. Let us know if you find anything crazy.

Found it. My PPF is tweaked and my motor mounts are shot. I guess whenever i get on it a little it squats enough with the twist of the engine to scrub the drive shaft on the PPF. From my seat it sounded like the passenger rear. but no its the driveshaft and ppf.
