Hey James:

Sounds to me that you have a broken and/or sagging rear leaf spring that
is in dire need of replacement!  Do yourself a favour and replace both
sides of the rear spring bushings (4 total) with either the V8 or the
urethane bushing as offered by Moss Motors while you are there.  You
will be impressed by the major improvement in handling!
