VX "tracking" when I hit a bump...?

I refer to this as "crabbing". My VX did this A LOT before I lifted with OME 912s. Since then, the crabbing effect has been minimized. I suspect this is a feature of both our short wheel base frames and coil springs in the rear, as I have never experienced this kind of behavior in any other vehicle. On dirt roads that are badly washboarded I have this problem the most, travelling at 20-30 mph causes the VX to shimmy back and forth over the washboard.

I just did my center link, ball joints and tie-rods up front and I definitely notice a difference up front, but I am not sure how the front end would effect the bouncing and crabbing in the rear.

Lower air pressure (<15psi) in tires helps tame this tremendously.

Yessir, I know that trick, but occasionally I find myself "passing through" on some more or less nice dirt roads that have washboard sections in them. Not really worth airing down for short stints up into the hills behind the house to excersize my 2nd amendment rights...

That's funny I think I will start calling it that
