    I noticed yesterday that at highway speeds my rear wiggles when i get on or get off the gas, or down shift. I watched the entire tire move in about half an inch to an inch in my side mirror. Was wondering if any of you ever had this happen, and if so, what was the remedy. I did try to search but didnt come up with much. Just need a lil direction on what I should be inspecting. Thanks!!!

    Check your u-bolts. They probably got loose. You can tell if they are shifting by the marks the u-bolts leave on the axle. Or if you are running drop blocks you will see marks where the block has shifted.

    mine used to shake going over 60 found out it was the driveshaft bolts on the rear end rattle loose via no lock washers and it would slop around once it broke free

    that actually happened to me when my lil brother put the lock washers on the bolt head side instead of on the nut side, lol i was getting a crazy wobble and i think when i checked there was only 1 bolt left
