I haven't been around the forum for awhile, been extremely busy.... but I have had a new quirk in the suspension lately... For those that may not remember my set up I have a full spohn rear set up with Hellwigs front and rear on a modified belltech drop.

Lately I have felt like I have been lifting the right rear when pushing hard right turns at speed. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but looking for thoughts on cause to this new quirk. I have checked alignment of the rear and it is still true and square and everything is together as it should be. only change in the recent past is I have switched back to a 285 up front and kept the 305's in the rear. Also at times the rear feels loose and other times it feels tight without any change on the same roads.....
I'm at a loss and chasing my tail on what it could be

Could it be another suspension component? A body mount? Sounds like somethings afoot.

I didn't think about body mounts, but def feels in the suspension... I've looked over everything as it sits on the ground... I guess my next step it to pull of wheels and tires and inspect further

Check your Spohn control arms. The bushings are known to fail. Also check panhard jam nuts & bushings, shocks & sway bar endlinks

I have recently gone through them and they look to be intact from the outside. If i get time this weekend im going to put my stock arms back on and go from there.
