Stop street racing. Get better suspension.

Maybe ur shocks are gone, and running on springs hence it bounces?

The motor is stock just intake and exhaust. It's got coil overs in the front (cheap). The rear end has tekin. Idk how long it's been riding on this cheap suspension. Got the car for a really good deal. I was looking at the bushings and that look really bad almost as flat as a peace of paper. The front of the car is very low compared to the back. Can bad bushings cause the car to move what ever Direction when I get on the gas.

IDK about 93's specifically but I believe bad mounts can cause that. Maybe bad front bushings too.
