Anyone else put their car up on jacks on level concrete and only 3 of them touch the frame? The right rear of my frame must be bent upwards about 1/4 inch:confused:
 
Too many wheels up launches. :cool:

The only time the wheels got in the air was with a floor jack. I used to make a ton of runs back in the day on the old motor trapping 122-127mph, but all soft launches 1.6-1.7 60 foots. Enough to break an axle though. Maybe its because I pulled the rear end out it's not tied together up in the air?
 
Are you 100% sure the floor is level? Take string and bubble levels at the top of each jack stand to make sure. I would put our buick up on stands trace on the floor exactly how it was sitting and then move the car and check with levels.
 
It might be that the car is twisting because it is not exactly evenly supported. If you ever just jack up a corner of your car it seems like everything bends and twists quite a bit.
