suspension diving when i let off the gas

[Rippin]

Hey guys. Got an issue with my Jeep. When I let off the gas it dives hard to the right, and when I get back on it it pulls back to the left. Any ideas what that could be?

Check for loose u-bolt to axle joints. Bad spring bushings?

Something is loose or worn.

73's got it. I think its loose U-Bolts in the rear.

Mine does the same thing, and upon inspection, the u bolts in the rear are loose.

Well, I lifted the jeep up by the frame and checked all of the ubolts and they're all tight. If I were a bettin man, I'd say its the frame givin up the ghost. All of the spring bushings were replaced when it got lift springs install several years ago, so i find it hard to believe that they would already be bad. The frame is in really bad shape. Like, if I posted pictures, some of you would avoid florida like the plague for fear of maybe driving on the same road as me lol. You cxan literally lay under it and squeeze the sides of the framerails together. im actually surprised its held on for the almost year and a half that it has

I found that the left spring perch was rusted almost entirely.

Another possibility would be a collapsed flexible brake line, not allowing fluid to return from it and releasing the caliper. This would also have a rotor that would have turned blue due to the excessive heat. This cannot be checked from the outside since the line goes bad on the inside.

A lot of flex in your frame will cause this. I think you know why it's doing this.
