Ok so I looked at the rear end today and my bushings are near shot. I will replace the u bolts while I am doing bushings. As for the exhaust problem I know what is causing that it is an easy fix. I would like new leaf springs (Mine are flat as a pancake) I have a procrap 3" lift with JKS shackles does anybody recommend the rubicon express RE1463 - LEAF SPRING XJ 3.5"?

When a line drawn through the rear axle is not parallel with a line drawn through the front axle you get what's called "offset." The result is felt as "torque steer." Often it's bad enough you can see it driving behind - it looks like it's trying to go sideways - "doglegging."

I'm sure your locker loved that.

At least it was a cheap fix.
