Rear end grabbing

I did find the answer to this the other week but now I have searched and cant find it again.

After my car has been driven a while I getting a strange, possible brake related problem.

Basically when I pull away the back end feel like it grabbing which last for about the first 4 seconds on normal pull away.

Its more noticable when I am turning when pulling away and also alot more noticible in 2WD rather than 4WD.

I'm sure somewhere I have seen this being a brake problem?

Check the rear brakes and parking brake cables.

thanks for that

The rear brake adjustment (star wheels bolt) between the shoes is often a problem. They can freeze up (take apart and lube) or sometimes adjusted thru the little slots in the backing plate. Are you familiar with that?

i am not familier with that, but I will have a look. the weekend. I have noticed a whining sound when driving along, but it doesnt change with when i apply the brakes. The juddeer i get when i pull away after driving on the highway for a bit, feels like it does on your push bike when you try to pull away and chage gears at the same time (like the chain is slipping on the cogs). This happens more so when i I pull away when turning right. Just feels like coggs are slipping foe a second or 2

When was the last time you serviced the rear axle ? The lube may be low and or the limited-slip (anti-spin) additive has worn out.
Could also be a bad U-joint in the propeller shaft.

Chock the wheels, put it in neutral, and climb underneath to rotate propshafts, etc. for free play. This helps you tell how much play in the rear end and u joints.

I was going to do the rear diff last weekend but as my water pump went i decided to do that instead. actually have a new gasket. 2 bottles of Mopar additive and some diff oil so that my next job. will do the propshaft check too. thanks for the help
