Braking and Accelerating Issues

When braking or accelerating my 84 CJ7 wonders all over the road. It doesn't take much to make it for it to go from one side of the lane to the other when braking. When accelerating the heeps seems to shoot to one side of the lane then I correct it back. It drives fine once I am up to speed.

The 2" springs still have arch to them but could they be worn out? Could the shocks be shot? I know the bushings need to be replaced. Any suggestions.

I have 33's with stock axles loaded with lock rights and 4.56 gears.

Lock-rights will do that. It will exagerate any other problem you may have. Make sure the steering box has not worked loose and your tires are all the same size/pressure.

Mine does that as well. Usually when on the freeway when I shift from 3rd to 4th so there is a little more power, and it will suddenly give a jerk. And occasionally it will be random. I found that it happened a lot more when the air pressure was a little different from left to right on the rear wheels. When I had all tires even it would hardly happen.

So I shouldn't worry about replacing the springs yet? Check tire pressure and drive again. 10-4 Thank
