 Subject: Help. Truck handles like a tank!!

Message:
Whenever I go over a rut or a pothole or an expansion joint on the highway the back end of my 2001 CC jumps around and the steering gets all squirrely. I don't have a rear sway bar but I'm wondering if the shocks are shot or if somethings broken or worn out. Everything looks good underneath. Please help. THX

My thoughts,
Daks are undersprung, overdampned, and, you have no rear sway bar.

passanger side upper control arm bushings are notorious for wearing out fast, exhaust manifold melts them... I installed a Hotchkis TVS kit, Energy Suspenion bushings, and Bilstein shocks... everything works 1000% better, no hopping around on bumps, much more solid, handles like it's on rails...

Have you looked at your tire pressure lately? If I keep my tires overinflated I get these same symptoms. On my 2000 2wd cc I ran 24 psi when I had the 275/60/15's and 28-30 psi with the 255/60/15's I have now. This resulted in even treadwear and a good ride...
