Default 95 5.0 rearend problem, sways, please help

okay i bought a 95 5.0 i posted on here a few weeks ago well good news the car runs like a beast burns threw first and second gear... no traction, well i have another problem the back axle has a problem when i drive it down the road and i slow down the rearend shakes and sways pretty bad, but when im just driving not slowing down or speeding up its fine, when the car is lowered it looks like the axle is more to the driver side, and when i have it in the air its in the middle, the passesenger rear tire/rim rubs on the inner wheel well, i noticed it does NOT have the rearend sway bar could this be the problem or is the whole rear end shot? i looked and nothing is snapped or broken from what i can see please help, thankyou for your time

on my 95 the rearend kinda kicks out when i go over bumps.
try getting new quad shocks and maybe even new shocks.
if that dosent work try what gary h said and get some new bushings.
the bushings fixed my problems

damn if the body is in decent shape u got the deal of the century with that one.
and since you dont have any major mods you'll prolly run around a low to mid 14.
out of all that the only thing that helped you a lot time wise is the gears.

that does look very clean.
i think those are the new edge v6 wheels on there too.
now all you need is a 5.0 under the hood and you'll be set.
ill sell u my complete motor for $300 in a couple months if ya want it
