Rear sways when on throttle
When i get on it it feels like i have 2 flat tires...... The tires and air pressure are fine. Anyone else ever have this happen? If so how did you fix it? I have Pfadt springs and swaybars in it for a while now and it always drove fine.
Any help would be great Thanks!!

I traded the car in last year to my local dealer the owner kept the car and put 80 miles on it ...... I bought it back the other day. The car only has 8890 miles on it. I did a lot of mods to the car originally. Make's 635 to the wheels. Maybe he messed it up...... Either way I gotta fix it. It never did it before. Gonna get it on a lift this week to check it out. Ordered all new polyurethane bushings and Pfadt trailing arms. Hoping this will tighten the car up.

could also be that the rear alignment is out. May get a 4 wheel done and check all suspension bolts...ya know...the free/maint. stuff.

The car might have broken off a sway bar mount from the lower control arm. Common issue and easily repaired. Once it's up on a lift and you look around you should be able to spot something.

I would have bet it was your alignment, but no better to upgrade a few things too!
Glad your problem is solved!
