Bad End/Drop links make car sway badly..?

Post by QuickDrive »

I've got a rear suspension problem, I live in Canada and it's rotting away :(

I looked under today and noticed that the driver side end link is loose and is kinda just dangling there, as in the busings are no longer supporting anything..

Could this, and possible the otherside be a cause of bad swaying on corners and in higher speed turns?

It feels like the car wants to countersteer after I steer..

It's late I'm tired I'll try to explain more in the morning.

Try Energy Suspension 9.8105RC from your local Auto Zone. It's a package of 8 generic urethane endlink grommets, you will only need four. I think there is an old thread about this, try a search. Even after replacing those, there will likely be a bunch of slop in the bushing where the endlink connects to the sway bar.

Update to this post:

The problem is/was my rear crossmember.
It was damaged to the point of breaking (Canadian Rust)

I've since bought an entire rear cross member from blackbart and had it installed

I'm picking it up tonight, can't wait to see what it feel likes...
