Reverse and the rear end squats

[Bucking_Will]

Hello everyone I tried googling and searching the forum with no luck.

When I put the bronco in reverse the rear end squats and then when i go back to drive the rear end lift……is this normal? And if so why?

It’s a 2024 Wildtrack HOSS 3.0

Because you’re loading the driveline.
Every vehicle will do this, some like the bronco, worse than others because of the shorter wheelbase.

I have a 2023 Wildtrak and just replaced my headlamps and it's really noticeable. I didn't notice it quite as much as the OEM headlamps and I don't really notice it at all without the beams on. I think the springs are so soft it just makes more of a transition between drive and reverse than anything I've ever owned.

More noticeable with a lifted vehicle that has a lot of suspension travel. Not near as noticeable with a sports car and almost no suspension travel.

OK thank you for the feedback....as that makes sense and I am running eibach springs as well.

It’s called “axle wrap”. All vehicles do it to a certain extent depending on suspension type and capacity. In the “old days” you’d add a “traction bar” (not to be confused with a track bar) to the suspension, mostly used on cars with soft suspension and high HP/torque to reduce wheel hop and increase traction during hard launches associated with drag racing. Nowadays they’re called “Anti wrap” bars/links.
