Few different things could cause this. A good place to start would be just eyeballing the half shafts and diff, checking to see if there is any play in the drive shaft, etc...
Also depends on what kind of wobble you're talking about. Is it only when you get on and let off the gas? Does it do it during passive acceleration, ie: going downhill? Is it centered, or does it favor one side?
If you jack it up and give it a wiggle, you will be able to tell if the bushings are worn out. Though... if it was the bushings being under load that created the wobble, I'd wager it would only happen when you get on it.. not when you let off as well.
The car moves on top on the axle... lots of axle play. It moves forward & back when i push the car & hits my exhaust im pretty sure too.
Im having it checked out tommorow, hopefully i can just buy some new control arms & shit and stiffen it up.
Cars clean though, even if i drop a grand to build to re-end a little bit i'd still be way under book value & the car would be mint.
Needs a throwout berring too , can't expect a perfect car for 2300 & its been sitting for months but i think i got the better of the deal still.
Its fast enough for me right now lol, its just the 4.6 but it definitley moves.
