I've noticed in the last few days that I get a loose feeling that one gets similiar to a rear wheel drive car in the rain just before the rear would break traction. Its not the case I doubt, but its just the best way I can describe what it feels like... kinda a quick change in the seat of the pants loseness not akin to diarrhea ha. i just started noticing it the last few days while making 90 degree turns at slow speeds around town. feels almost like the body swings wide if the tire tracks in a soft non alarming arc. it feels like the rear is turning "easier" then it ever has before...or like turning on soft gravel or sand but while still on solid concrete... but any changes worry me haha.

i havent checked my tire pressure in quite awhile haha but it seemed extra out of the ordinary... what are the symptoms when you lose a diff in a non catrosrophic manner? or perhaps some suspension component is on its way out?

 

my bet is watts linkage bushings.

 

So, what happened???

 

I had the same symptoms and it ended up being my rear watts linkage. Easy fix. get someone to rock your truck back and forth, climb under and see if anything is knocking or loose within the watts linkage.

Thats my guess.

 

Where to buy bushings? Easy replace?

 

Britpart sells a kit for like $200 dollars that has all 5 bushings. Call Justin at Lucky 8
