Sometimes when I take a corner, not too fast of course, the back end seems to hop or skip across the ground. It's even worse if I hit a pothole or anything that's not flat all the way around the corner. Is this a rear suspention bushing issue, or a leaf spring issue or anything?

I've had a couple Bronco's do the same thing but it was always because of the rear locker, too tight a turn and I'd either drag a tire thru the turn or hop the rear end. not sure from your tag what size tire you're running or if you have a locker or not. Shocks that are too stiff will also do this especially with such a short wheelbase.

Stock rear, 3.55 open rear running on 31s. I'm thinking the shocks need replacing anyway, might start with that.
