Bad Virbrations

B52BUFF:
Here is the problem in a nutshell.

 1. The problem only occurs when I am moving.
 2. It only occurs when I am slowing down.
 3. It doesn't matter if the clutch is in or out.
 4. As soon as I begin speeding up it subsides.
 5. The slower I get the slower the rate of the vibration.
 6. It bucks the worst when I am almost stopped.

Any ideas?  I am willing to take someone for a ride to analyse the problem. 

skibum:
Does it only happen when your using your brakes???

B52BUFF:
No.  It starts as soon as I take my foot off the gas and coast.

BlacXJeep:
Could have a seized caliper or your parking brake may be stuck a bit? But when it comes to jeeps, and wobbly, always check then track bar anyways.

calvynandhobbs:
It could be as simple as a ujoint in your rear driveshaft. When mine was going in the XJ you wouldn't notice it when it was loaded like when accelerating or maintaining speed, but as soon as you left off the gas the ujoint was loose enough to cause a vibration. Several on here will remember that I let it go a really long time and eventually it developed a squeak also as it rotated.
