2002 rear-end hops in reverse under a load

[Timberroad]

What causes the rear end to hop in reverse when backing up a hill or jumping a lip in the cement? Works fine in forward.

Are you sure it's not the transmission chattering?

If this car has disc brakes in the rear check the parking brake.

Did you inspect the suspension for:

• Loose or damaged front and rear suspension components?
• Loose, damaged or missing suspension fasteners?
• Damaged or sagging springs?
• Damaged or leaking shock absorbers?
• Worn or damaged suspension bushings?
