Handling question

About a week ago my car started handling different. It doesnt feel as stiff as it used to be. Like on turns the car has like a rolling feel to it. Its hard to describe. I thought maybe i broke a sway bar, but i looked at them and they appear to be good. Has anybody had a similar problem? I want my handling back lol

Re: Handling question

Mine just started doing this yesterday too. Sway bar bushings is what I've heard. Although lately there have been a lot of clunks when hitting bumps.

I just turn the radio up for now - inspection isn't due til June

Re: Handling question

Clunks sound like blown shocks...

Check the endlinks. They are pretty thin and its likely they snapped.

Re: Handling question

yeah sway bar link prolly snapped. next time get MOOG endlinks they are twice as thick as stock (unfortunately costs almost $100 for a pair). without the front sway bar, the steering feels very loose and you have to turn the wheel more to make the car go in that direction.
