Default Lowered Suspension Help

Hey guys as i hope you can see from the pic I'm having an issue with the rear suspension (both sides) in my Au Fairmont Ghia. it has SL King Springs and lowered Monroe shocks all round ( Less that 2 months old). i realized there was a problem when trying to accelerate the car felt like the rear end was swerving quite violently. Any suggestion as to how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks Roders.

The upper shock mount is buggered, a common problem with IRS AU Falcons.

I designed a better unit, see this thread, but I don't have any right at this moment, might be 2 weeks away -

When do you think you will be able to have a pair of these done as im about to buy new shocks and springs and would like to do it all at once.

cheers
