check your drive shaft, center support bearing and stuff like that. that's where i would start looking.

wouldn't that stuff cause the problem all the time though, not just when he's not on the gas. i really think it's a bad sensor, or a fuel problem. by the way how does your car idle and if you get a chance take a look at your coolant temp sensor and see if it looks corroded. lemme know about the cts. hopefully thats my problem

i don't think thats it. I think it has something to do with suspention parts. not sure what yet. I also think I'm going to try getting my tires balanced

Does it do everytime you let off the gas? Only when you press the brakes?Does your rpm's drop?

drivelines are a funny thing, sometimes they do it all the time but when the problems are surfacing, they have a tendency to appear more under a load.that load can be when the driveline is accelerating or decelerating. since his problem is under decel, there is less of a chance that it is engine related. therefore i recommended to start by looking at the driveline. but it could be a lot of things, just trying to be helpful.
