about a month ago i started to feel my rear end doing alot of swaying around like for example when im on the freeway and doing about 60+ my rear end feel's like it's going side to side could that be old worn out sway bar bushing's or any of the other bushing's in the rear end?:confused:
 
I'd check the wheel bearings. Had a T-bird that did that every 60-90 thousand miles. Don't put it off...it'll cut your rear spindle in half....
 
wow thanx for the head's up i had no idea look's like my ride is gonna end up on the jackstand's again lol i just replaced both front rotor's and pad's this morning maybe i should have gotton the rear bearing's while i was there lol hey thanx alot again man this place rock's
 
Also check the rear spindle bolts.....had one of mine come loose on me and it did the same thing. The sway bars are really common for breaking at the ends, but it doesn't really induce swaying when going straight.
 
good call jesse, my buddy called me one night on his way home from work and said going around a corner in his 93 it felt like it wanted to shoot off the road into the woods. i said bring it down to my shop in the morning i'll look at it. well next day he pulls up, i get on the creeper quick and do a fast visual of the rear end, i dont see anything obvious, i go to get up and happen to see the right rear tire is way off center in the wheel well opening, i do a double glance and step back, i told him come over here and tell me if i am seeing things, he agreed the tire was way too far back in the opening, so i yanked the wheel off and sure enough, like jesse said, both lower knuckle to lower control arm bolts were loose, one was so loose, i could take the nut off by hand, and those are nylon locking nuts, so i tightened then back up and then checked the driverside too, i cannot see how they backed off on their own, unless someone was into his car before he bought it, man that was some scary stuff right there, another day or two and he would have been in the woods!
