Torque steer from the wrong end of the car

I am familiar with torque steer from having owned various Saab turbo 9-3s, but the '66 TR4A solid axle is exhibiting the same dynamics from the other end of the car :laugh:

How much, if any, should her rear end move around when I get hard on the gas from a roll? It is a fairly pronounced effect at this point.

Should I be thinking shock? Bushings? Splines? U-bolts? Ovaling on the distance piece? Ideas for me?

Thanks guys.

Oh, yeah, and I meant to ask about maybe a broken spring as well. I was totally thinking that before Randall pointed it out. Really.


(Thanks Randall!)
 
It could be a loose differential tube. With the rear wheels off the ground put a jack under either diff tube and jack up slightly. If you see it move while the diff "pumpkin" stays still you may want to start looking for a new rear end.
