  • Car rear seems to be gliding

    Kinda like on ice, but not. I was wondering if something is wrong like my sway bars or PHR is going out. Or even the bushings on them. Any help is needed. Here's what happened

    I was driving home last night, on the freeway doing about 75, when i noticed that my car would pull to the left, or to the right. no jerky, just start gliding. I got my alignment fixed about a week ago. Also, when I was keeping the car straight, it seemed like my back end was swaying from left to right. Back and forth. Not drastic, just gliding. And not a lot to, just noticable.

    Anyone have any ideas??

    does it happen when you're driving straight or turning? is your car lowered?

    when i lowered my car my rear end would sway on turns. once i installed an adj. phr it solved the problem.

      Installed Bilstein shocks and Hotchkin Springs. I was thinking it could be the PHR, but wasnt quite sure. Thought it coulda been both sway bars. Yes, it happens when I'm driving str8, and a little on the turns.

      Which PHR did you o with?

        i went w/ bmr. its good quality and one of the cheaper ones. i'm 99.9% sure the adj. phr will solve your problem. are your rear passenger side tires tucked in more than the driver side rear?
