Just started noticing my trucks feels like its floating to the left on acceleration and then settled down after accelerating. I checked all bolts and bushings. They look good. Anyone have thoughts or experienced this?

You may need new control arms overall but start with the rears. Chances are the bushings are toasted and that can make the truck steer one way on acceleration then the other when you let go.

Thank you. The more I feel it, it seems more out of the rear

I recommend using energy suspension parts. Their poly bushings are the best. I’d also recommend the red or blue ones they are for more serious work. We all know how you drive. [emoji38]

I got the same feeling over time. I've ending up replacing the rear 5-link with adjustable core 4x4. On the front I used Maxtrac upper control arms. Moog problem solver lower ball joints and tie rod ends.

Very happy with the results. Truck drives these 37's like factory. I only have 87k on mine but I've beaten on it offroad

Just because it's not AS noticeable and a reasonable off the line acceleration has nothing to do with this lol. I like the exhaust rumble
