Some call it a Sling Butt

[garbagewheelies]

Why does my ass end feel like a sling shot? When I corner with moderate speed the tail end of my runner feels like it swings out and then slingshots back... The tires aren't sliding or losing traction, its just the body that does it. What could it be?

 

[awpsome]

probably shocks..
how many miles? stock shocks?

 

[cj80cruiser]

check your swaybar connections....could be broken

 

[garbagewheelies]

170k miles. Stock shocks. Where exactly do I check my swaybar connections?

Give me a few minutes to take a pic and I'll show you....one of my fronts are broken so I'll show you that too.

Thank you so much. That's awesome help.

Thank you so much. That's awesome help.

The rear pic was taken just in front of the rear tire. It can appear to be together while sitting still but if you flex your suspension it may separate...thats just a possibility. More than likely you can tell right off.

You sir, kick ass.

That was a huge help.

Thank you so much.

:cheers: Let us know if that was your problem

 

[garbagewheelies]

Will do. I'm in an ambulance at the moment. Will be checking it out tonight when I get off.

Check your panhard as well. It is what literally keeps you rear end from swinging out on turns. Unlikely that it has disconnected completely, but worth a check.

If that's disconnected then that would explain the ambulance ride. :jaw drop:

If you stiffer the rear then the rear will be more likely to slide out in a corner, just wait till it gets a little moist out, you will look like a D1 Drifter, just dont floor it in 2nd gear around corners (atleast make sure there is no one next to him).

Other things to check: Bushing condition on all the link arms and panhard. If they are excessively worn will allow more movement in the rear end also.
