Default 88 ef suspension problem

Alright so I have a 88 dx hatch with b16 swap running ls tranny, I am using all stock suspension except I have 91 DA teg spindles, and coilovers, but I currently have them set to stock height. So this has been going on for a while but I didn't notice till mechanic at an alignment shop told me. When I give car throttle .(normal driving) at initial take off from 0mph thw front wheels jerk slightly to rear of wheel well, when I go in reverse it does the same but wheels go to front of wheel well. When in the car u cfeel car jerk when u give I throttle at any speed, but when I say give it throttle I mean like if I let go of gas pedal and let decelerate and then give gas u can feel wheels jerk, u even feel when. U just letoff gas pedal. What controls wheel from moving forward or back in wheel well

you need to change your spindles too, your throwing the geometry of the car off.

The spindles will be fine. Hundreds of people run DA brakes/spindles with no problems. It won't be ideal but it works fine for street driving.

i thought running DA spindles was necessary for b series swap, that is why i changed them. and the radius arm is the bar that bolts frm LCA to front crossmember right?

You could use either DX, Si, or DA spindles. You are correct on the part.
