Default Rear end sway/loose...annoyed.

I've notices the rear end being a bit loose but never payed it much mind. Now after uninstalled the suspenders it is way more present. I did the alignment to perfect. One thing off was the right rear toe, there is no adjustment there...it's as if the axle itself is crooked but only on the right side??? Wtf is thy possible?

Anyway the reason I started the thread is when I am hard on the brakes the whole truck sways and is difficult to keep straight (even before suspenders). When I am on a not so perfect road the whole truck sways as if it steers itself slightly and I have to correct a lot. I checked everything out in the back and it seems tight and legit...what?

Lastly there is a clunk in the back during articulation mostly from the left rear and it has now turned into a hollow thump and is present when going over rough terrain.

Help?

What year and how many miles on it? If you are still running the stock suspension, it can get real sloppy with the sway bars unhooked.

Catch some, miss some and sleep in between.
Might check the watts linkage and both front and rear arm bushing, all 12 of them for sloppiness.
