2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission truck wandering?

[dlange]

When letting of the throttle, then accelerating the truck will pull to the left pretty hard, When letting off the throttle quickly it pulls to the right. Does any one have a idea why it would do this? I have a 4. 5 skyjacker on the truck,with dt trac bar, new steering box, new tires, and the shocks seem fine. This is not the normal pull associated with these trucks. Just curious if the lift is causing this, or if anyone else has had this problem. I only started a few weeks ago.

Are you running any lockers in the diffs?

I run a power lock in the rear. Could this be the problem? Low on fluid?

just throwing something else out here... perhaps a hanging brake caliper? sounds strange. check your tie rods and front end again maybe.

What does the angle of your steering arm look like? Very typical problem in Jeeps... as the front suspension compresses or unloads it the arm from the steering box is not level with the rest of the steering linkage, it will make the truck turn left or right. You might notice it over the bumps as well. You might find something searching on "Bump steer". Good luck

I doubt if the power lock is the problem. I was lookin for a locking dif, thinking that you may have an axle disconnect problem or a broken rear axle, but the power lock is a clutch device that would slip. In all actuality it doen't lock, but it does grip.
