Default Problems with active handling

Just had a 3.73 Quaife installed. While in there, the mechanic replaced the rear ball joints, shocks, wheel bearings, brakes, and torque tube bearings/bushings.
After the work was done I noticed some odd active handling behaviors:
1) Active handling would take a while to warm up in the morning.
2) When merging to the left at low speed and light throttle, I could feel the right rear wheel lock up briefly. Sometimes that tire would chirp. Higher speed and more throttle makes for a scary ride.
3) With hard straight line acceleration, The rear end seems to float like it can't make up its mind where to put the power. Maybe because I am making small steering adjustments.
4) No fault codes.
5) It happens pretty fast so I don't get a chance to see if an active handling DIC message is displayed.
6) The problems mentioned in 2 and 3 above go away when I turn off active handling.

What should I check to help solve this problem?

Nevermind. I didn't read your post carefully.
