Maaybe sway bar? What do you think

Post by JEzze »

So I'm wondering if this is sway. The issue I'm having is while driving on hi way at about 70 mph turning right or vering if you would . I'm noticing the car kind of sway more then back almost like if the road dips the car waves a bit . Now i have tried this at all speeds and i do not really notice it at all at low speeds. I replaced the wheel bearings recent and did not notice anything lose or bad.
Would this be sway bar end links or something a little more serious . Any input is appreciated...

Seams to be only when veering to right at or about 65_70 mph.
Just seams like it will turn with the wheel then if there is a hump in road it will just turn just a bit more like swerve..... ANY ideas is appreciated.

Have you had your alignment checked recently?

Check to see if the links are broken. My fronts were broken due to age and corrosion.

I was going to suggest the alignment too. Sounds "toed-out" a bit.
