    Odd? Yes, I think so too. Took the car for a drive after finally getting my hands on a new lateral rod. It was a pain in the arse to install. The car handles fine now. The problem now is, the engine makes a weird noise when I gas it. It almost sound's as if the supercharger is screaming EehEehEehEehEeh instead of its typical whine;and not making proper boost. My only guesses are its running lean. Maybe because of a bad O2 sensor? If that's not it, then idk what is wrong. What else might cause this?

    What's a lateral rod? Swaybar or STB?

    It is one of the 2 rods that controls toe in/out of the rear wheels.

    Gotchya, I was thinking it was something up front since your car is acting up now. I'm clueless on this one.

    Problem has been solved. It was a bad O2 sensor.
