Can suspension problems cause this?

I made this post in the tech troubleshooting section but I notice there are other people who post here, so maybe you guys can shed some light on this because I'm still not convinced it's my differential:

I think I need new shocks, and bad.

Re: Can suspension problems cause this?

I'd be curious about the condition of your bushings...

Have you noticed any odd tire wear lately?

Tire wear is roughly 100% even for the past 3 years, and I've been having the same symptoms for a long time. I always assumed it was the trany. I put in a new clutch kit, but I stupidly didn't check the differential.

What bushings are you refering to? Because I'm new to suspension. As soon as I have time, I'm going to take off the wheels and make sure all the bolts are tight. I mean, is it possible that something is loose?

Re: Can suspension problems cause this?

Control arm bushings. when they start to go they can allow a lot of slop/play in the suspension.

granted if your not getting odd tire wear, chances are the bushings arn't shot. but it doesn't hurt to check.
