Not sure if this is what you are "feeling" or not, but if the rubber
pads that are between the axle and the rear springs are weak, the
axle will move. This is usually seen as a bit of rear steer on
acceleration or braking. Quick fix is to just clamp down the U-Bolts
to compress that pad. i.e. tighten the axle to spring connection. You
can get new pads, but they will do the same thing after a while.
