When I let off the gas it feels like the axle shifts and then shifts back to the other side when you get on the gas. I have gone over all the bolts on the control arms and the upper a arm my only guess is that it is the ball joint in the upper a arm. Does this sound correct to any one else.

Track bar maybe? Look to see if any holes are oval shaped instead of circular.

We don't have a Track Bar! My $$$ as always is on the upper Tri-Link bushings, and I bet :2cents: Tomm calls LCA bushings :lol: It could be either or the upper Ball Joint in the Rear what is the mileage like? Mine was doing a very similar Dance (Especially when accelerating hard on the 1-2 shift it had a bad Shimmy) before it went in the shop, upper link bushings where beat as well as the LCA Bushings starting to go oddly the Ball Joint was still A-1.

My first tri link ball joint went at 90,000 or so, second junk one ( brand new but junk) went at 130,000
the rear LCA started letting me wiggle my behind at 150,000 or so, at 160,000 it was bad, had over 3/4 inch of movement in the left arm

That's exactly what mine is up to. I have 16100km or 98000miles on it. I need to get new bushes etc but I'm in South Africa !

Yeah these bushings we speak of corrected all handling issues that I had back there. Felt like I'd flip all the time... Knocking on wood.
