LOOKING FOR HELP!!!

I have a 1998 986 and I installed H&R springs. Immediately after I did this, the back-end began to skip all over the place. I understand that I will need to get an alignment but this issue is more than a simple alignment issue.

What this feels like:

The moment I begin rolling the back end jumps what seems to be at least 12 inches either to the right or the left. Then I have to correct myself back to the middle of the lane to prepare for the next movement. These movements occur nearly every 2-3 seconds.

What concerns me:

Maybe because I didn’t disconnect the drive shaft while installing the springs, maybe I ended up messing up how the wheels spin.

THOUGHTS ANYONE?
