Noticed the past month or so something weird. Whenever i get on it the rear feels like its swaying back and forth (left to right). I could be doing 30 hit the gas a little hard and get the same thing, the cars not breaking loose or getting sideways. It feels like the rear end is dancing back and forth. Maybe time for sway bars?

How would I check those? It literally feels like the rears skating on ice even though its not losing traction. Feels really unstable lol

the5.ohh It's your new fancy wheels...your car is resisting them..please ship them to me so I can do further research. :D

Just take one wheel off and get under there and look at the bushings and use your flashlight and look for anything unusual.

Here is a pic of the upper control arm axel side.

you might be able to see the worn out and cracked rubber.
While the car is n the air with the BODY on jack stands and the axle drooping see if you can get any movement form the axle.

I really like my J&M's, for how cheap they are they work really well!



And if theres movement from the axle?

bushings are shot. not point in replacing the lca busings, just buy the j&ms. The uppers could be shot aswell, in this case by rubber replacements.
