Anyone else feeling that their rigs are making them seasick?
I'm try to track down a strange problem on mine. I've replaced front lower control arms, and sway bar bushings both front and rear.
When driving a highway at high speed, and I hit the "right" bump, my rear end seems to get upset. It throws me back and forth, left and right - seems to "circle around". Seems as if the right rear corner is softer than everything else, and it bounces around. The dangles are swinging loose.  Tires are getting bad, but I can't see that that is the problem.
Is this an alignment problem? I just had it aligned, but not at the dealership.
I don't want to throw money at the new air shock in that rear corner right now.
Help? Ideas?

Measure the height from the wheel hub to the enderside of the arch they should be the same on each side.
I assume you checked tyre pressures?
Who replaced the bushes?
If you did not do an alignment after replacing bushes then it will probably be out. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Where are the swinging harmonic dampers???
Got my spare wheel off at the moment so thought I'd have a look underneath to make sure mine are swinging freely as suggested on here but I can't see anything that swings or that is caught up?? Badda bing.......How you doin'?

When I swing my car's weights towards front , they hit long screws on the chassis and when moved back , they hit rear plastic bumper on both sides.Is this normal?

Unless you actually hear them hit when diving it is normal. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
