I'm sure somebody (or maybe everybody) here has encountered this. When I go over largish bumps that unload the suspension, the car has a tendency to, what I like to call, crab. There is a bit of unexpected sideways motion. Not so much to lose control, by any means, but slightly unsettling.

The car has been modified, and I don't have all the specifics collected yet, but it has Tokiko shocks and some non-stock spring (Yellow, if that helps).

Any ideas or suggestions for tracking this down.

Thanks for your assistance.

Jim.

bumpsteer maybe??

While there is a bit of steering when it is bumping, I believe the change is coming from the back end, and I am suspicous that the shocks may be adjusted differently. Going to check that out tonight.

ive had mine airborne once or twice... ok twice lol... and both times the *** end came a little right... just like when u do a burn out... well a stand still... it slides and then settles to the right... i think its just what they do

Well, I'll be going through the rear suspension one day soo to make sure all is well.

Thanks.

if the rear is swaying to the side slightly when its in the air, the front tires aren't perfectly straight. it will happen in any car, even a brand new one.
its called geometry.

Its due to a tighter suspention, after i put stiff shocks on ym exlorer the thing was crazy over bumps, what your feelign is probably normal.
