Van shakes badly under deceleration when very hot. You cannot feel it through pedal or in steering wheel, but van shakes.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

If you do not feel it in the steering, there is a good chance it is dealing with the rear wheels. Check to make sure there are no loose components as far as bushings. Also, make sure there is no issue with brakes sticking on and causing things to overheat. I attached a picture of the rear suspension so you can see where things bolt together.

Let me know what you find.
