Crew, while taking my 5ton out on trails and hill climbs in particular, the rear axles will exhibit extreme hop under load and dig its own hole. I've also noticed that while cruising down the road at +55mph the rear wheels are constantly bouncing - even with fresh tires. Took a look at the torque rods and the bushing look really rough. I'm guessing the bushings are the key damping system as there are no shocks on the rear assembly. Looking for others thoughts. I tried to climb Oldsmobile Hill (Glamis) but the axle hop just killed progress. Picture of my torque arm axle bushings attached.
