Why's my Ranger's rear end always trying to skip to the right on bumps? My theory was bad shocks, combined with the effect of having a slightly shorter axle shaft on the right.
I changed the shocks, all 4 of them, took it down a crappy back-road, and it rides better but still gets sideways on me when I hit bumps.
It's never been in an accident, frame's not twisted. It was my grandpa's, he beat the living piss out of it and then he died, and my grandma gave it to me because she can't drive stick-shift. Neither of us ever took it off road, unless we were taking it slow.
I don't want to believe that it would have been like this from the factory. There's gotta be something I can fix, adjust or replace.
