Ute wags it's tail over bumps
Gday everyone,
Got a quick question that I cannot figure out myself. I have a 1990 GQ ute, big lift with no sway bars and a rear 4 link. I do understand that a sway bar will stop the body roll but this feels like a different issue. When I hit any sort of bump in the road, be it a pothole or even just a crease in the concrete, the back of the truck wobbles around like you are sitting on jelly, slightly side to side and sometimes bad enough that I need to correct the steering.
A mate driving behind me also noticed it one day so it must be a decent wobble, it's basically like the car is wagging it's tail while bouncing around. I am not a mechanic and thought there would be somebody here that could help me out. Am thinking I should replace all the bushings in the 4 link and see if it stiffens up, I know a sway bar would help, but my issue is not with body roll while cornering, but with this weird jelly rear end whenever I hit a bump. Anybody with any ideas or experience with something like this?
Cheers, Sam.
