Default 4.10's in, Rear-End sways on deceleration

I just got my 4.10's in.
When I let off the gas at anywhere from 4K RPM up, the rear end sways from side to side.

I'm guessing this is just increased engine braking due to the steeper gears??

Is this normal for 4.10's on an IRS?

What can I do to solve this problem?
I have springs on the way, but I'm thinking a stiffer rear sway is what I need.

Any ideas?

You might want to stiffin up youre rear end with new lower arms with bushing kit , new coils may help as well.

These will make you rear stay tight : http://www.steeda.ca/catalogue_product_type.asp?id=282


Good Luck

I ordered springs yesterday.
Hopefully that'll help.

I was thinking it might also be an alignment problem since I probably screwed the camber all up when I was reassembling the rear suspension.

so go get a good 4 wheel alignment done before you spend money on parts you don't need!
but since you already order some springs, wait until you install them first and then go get it aligned.
