Put the car on a lift with the rear suspension hanging and check for broke or loose suspension parts. Pump up the rear tires more?

Also check the tires for broken belts.

was thinking its a problem in 3 link rear, was hoping rear lower trailing arms were shot(easy to change) making axle wiggle so much, jeep has 150k miles on it, was trading into local dodge dealer because of this, i bought it from them(cheap) because it looked so nice.

got it in the shop everything looked good attached to rear axle, put small pry bar between axle/arm and frame mount and front of trailing arm. they had 1 inch of play with no weight on axle, thats why axle felt like it was gunna fall out.the drivers side arm in pic the bushing fell right out when arm removed. sold the jeep needed parts fast bought set from jeep dealer ouch 230. my cost 320. regular cost. all tight back there now at speed
