Hey whats up guys! MY 2002 QX4 has this little swerve when I let go of the accelerator. Usually feel it when I'm on the freeway, I think it's coming from the rear but then again I'm not sure. Any suggestions on what is wrong? Axle, sway bar, bushing, arm? Please help. Thanks.

I don't think 2003 was prone to "death wobble", but it doesnt hurt to check. Lots of great info here: http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthr...16933

Could you possably be dragging the parking brake? Which way does it pull? does the rear wheel on that side feel hot after driving?

The swerves goes from left to right mostly feel it from the rear. I'm not dragging the parking brake. My tires in the rear do need replacing maybe I should get a new set. Also my when I hit bumps my rear shocks seem to hit pretty hard as if they need replacement. Not sure, then again it could be bushings. That link was very helpful, my 02 does shake similar to those postings at times.
