Rover just wagging its tail?

[Sergei]

Well we finally got all pieces together and made first spring/summer official outing on Rover. I am utterly impressed on how it went - while trails where technically superb, but snow and corrosion made them fun.

Only thing that bugs me - is it regular behavior for coil springs (never had such suspension type before) to go kind of wiggly sometime at highway speeds, with strong sidewind or abrupt gear change (or just release of acceration pedal, when you going in 3rd, and making like 60m/'h)? I feel that sometime vehicle just goes "wheeee" , almost like if it would just jump on springs and go to random side, like wiggling. I am normally driving around at like 20-45m/h ranges, so i never really felt it before. And all suspension components are pretty new.

Do you have sway bars? A properly tuned coil spring suspension rely on sway bars for the best on road manners.

 

[Sergei]

Yep, got still got both of them in place.

sounds like shocks are shot.

 

[Sergei]

Marc, i would think so too, but they are few months old HD OME's..

Sergi Have You Got Hd Springs I Have Lovells And Mine Sits Nice Even When Loaded Up Taking Round A Bouts At70-75 Kmph

 

[Sergei]

Its HD springs rated to 400+ft.. A tad bit over OME HDs

Have you checked your rear link bushings? Worn rear bushings make Rover squirrelly upon deceleration.

Yes, they are brand new blue polybush

But i forgot to update thread - i found what was causing this weird behavior.
Rear left wheel hub decided to become loose. I repacked it and now truck handles nicely.
