Check the tightness of your cradle bolts.

Probably the jack holding the car up. I doubt that would let the car rock at all. Like it was riding on steel wheels.

Zef, i think that mod would only work well if it were in the back... it'd be tough going anywhere with the front end not touching.

Ok, I'll give you a hint... there's a lot of stuff in that picture that isn't made for an 05 grand prix...
