Just a thought;

If the crow-hopping only occurs on the vehicle after its been driven for a while, it may be worth your while to check the level/state of your diff fluid. If its been a while, the limited-slip additive in the gear oil may be shot, as well as the fluid severely broken down (as was my case, the 'gear oil' looked like brack-ish water when removed, but there didn't seem to be anything else wrong in the workings other than some cleaning in order).

My '94 Quad-trac Laredo displayed the crow-hop after being driven a while, however a change of fluid front & rear has basically eliminated this condition.

Re: Tight turns

If you are equipped with a limited slip, it is a good idea to change the fluid and additive periodically. Typically a limited slip differential can cause chatter but will not cause driveline wind up which causes the "tight turning feeling"

$425 for a new VC is pretty good. I've seen them for about $450. Here is a more detailed write-up on how to replace the VC without removing the case. http://nextdimensionhw.com/other/jee...ch/np249vc.htm
Good luck.
