need help with a sway, NOT the death wobble

[fastpathy35]

I had the death wobble pretty bad, So I replaced the lower bushings and bought complete upper control arms. No more wobble after hitting bumps or when on the highway. My sway is when I press and release the accelerator. It feels as though the rear end sways to the passenger side when pressing the throttle and the drivers side for releasing. No popping, no knocking clicking thuds, no sound just a brief movent. Everything on the rear end seems sound.

Sway bar end links?

They appeared to be fine. I had to taken them off to get to the upper control arms. They aren't expensive So ill replace them. The sway bar bushings were fine as well.

I fixed that exact symptom about a week ago. The upper and lower trailing link bushing were shot. I installed poly from 4x4parts.com.

I just replaced the lower trailing arm bushings and the upper trailing arms, or do you mean something else?

[Chuck Tribolet]

That's what I meant, though I just replaced bushings all around, not arms.

How are the Panhard rod bushings?

[fastpathy35]

That very well could be it. The way it feels it moves the panhard rod is supposed to control. That never crossed my mind to be honest. I will be checking it this afternoon.

[fastpathy35]

And I was just doing the own replacement bushings and found it cheaper to buy the upper arms instead of the bushings. Doesn't make much sense.

[fastpathy35]

Not the panhard rod. Bushings in it were still really tight.

Apparently I got a bad batch of bushings. They're already falling apart. I'm going to get the poly bushings and see how that turns out. I crawled under it and when rocking the truck it was apparent that there was a great deal of play in the control arms.
