    I'll make sure to check that out. After I get a new job at a local ambulance service I'm gonna rework the suspension all the way around cause I know it needs some TLC. Shocks and everything are all original which is pretty sad.

    These rear ends are unbelievable for what they are. It sounds like you have a axle bearing that's going bad or something. And definitely make sure the shocks are in good shape and the leaf / shackle bushings are too. Get some KYB's on that thing and you'll think you'll bought a new suspension.
