88 T-Bird hard launch problem

I have this problem where when I launch my 88 T-Bird it feels like the rear wheels go over a small bumb. I have had some one inside and outside the car when I take off and everything looks good. Inside the car it just does not feel right and the only way I can explain it is as above. The car had the 3.8 L engine so it is not even able to break the tires loose. What do you think?

I am leaning toward a bad U-joint. Because it will do the jerking thing when coasting down from speed as well as the wierd lump when to take off hard.

broken motor mount

get a torque link from Summit Racing for a 80's mustang. it bolts to the top of the drivers side sway bar mount, and to your block. I've had mine for 6 yrs. they cost around 50.00 bucks, it's worth it.
