    Problem with rear end sway?

    im having serious problems lately with the maro...at high way speeds it honestly feels like the rear end is rocking or swaying side to side just back and forth for some reason...the suspension has right at over 100k miles on the stock suspension. and am waiting for the new wheels to be put on to figure out what to do with the suspension, as far as me dropping it or not.i have no clue as to what to look for to help eliminate this problem, but i dont want the sway to get worse and kick the car out from under me and lose it..becuase honestly it feels like some days are worse than others. and i smetimes really have to jerk the wheel to keep it on track. anyone else have this problem?

    also it has brand new tires all the way around, not that, that could cause much to this problem......any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance steve

    you need to check for loose or broken suspension pieces. the first i would check is the sway bar mounts. then the panhard rod.

    Yes, Pan hard bar, sway bar, tire pressure?

    Also, make sure you didnt just install a set of Mickey Thompsons or Hoosiers!

    A couple of people down here have had the same issue, mine above 120 does this... (whoops) but they all had theirs taken to alignment shops and most of the time the stock 10 bolt can actually warp itself or warp stock components. One of the guys had 1/2inch warp. Adjustable suspension cured those.


    Poly bushings/end links should run you about 50 bucks for the rear from Mark at KY speed for the swaybar.. I would go that route because even if it isnt the problem at 100k they are wore the hell out.

    PM sent.

    Warp is caused by the stock piece of shit products that GM put in the f-body rear ends. Not made to handle the power/abuse
