Hello,
Looking to see if I can get some help. 2001 Yukon XL SLT 2WD is porpoising when I go over dips in the road, thing is like a boat on the water at higher speeds. The thing is it's only happening on the passenger side, the fist thing I replaced was the shocks but that didn't help. I have also replaced the steering box, inner and outer tie rod ends as well as all of the sway bar bushings. The torsion bar seems to be ok since it's not sagging also the upper and lower control arms seem to be in good shape. The Yukon has just over 200,000 miles on it and is now primarily used for baseball practice and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And check your allignement. Especially the caster and toe.

If the caster on right an left side is severe different, your toe will change in different amounts, according to steering ankle, what will result in unstable driving.
