(Newbie) Rear end leans to the right and a little spongie

Hey all!
I'm new to the site so getting kinda used to it. I have owned my YJ for about 5-6 months and love it!!!!. I have a 95 YJ sierra and It has a rear end to the right and just a little spongie, any ideas? I see it every once and a while on other jeeps and assume its pretty common, Thanks

Hi,welcome to the forum.
It sounds like a weakened/broken leaf spring and/or shock possibly.
Are your tires properly inflated?...just sayin' :)

hey, welcome to the club :D long live Vancouver Island Wheelin'

jeeps all have a lean to one side or the other. leaf springs will sag, dead shocks and worn out body mounts don't help either. let us know what you find as we could all benefit from any new information

will do, I have a friend that is a mechanic so I have a feeling we'll be replacing them both in the springtime, most likely for some beers and steaks...for now it gets me and my snowboard up and down the hill ..... I tell ya one thing for sure, I sure LOVE my Jeep :))
