Nitto NT555G2 swaying

[BmacIL]

Went through the same exact thing my friend.Car was fine bought a set of Am pp replica wheels for the rear and a set of nitto nt95r 305/35/19 dr's.Put them and at the same time put my dss axles in.Around 80 mph car would sometimes sway and scare the hell out of me,also taking ramps i could feel the rear of the car moving around.Was so bad one day had a friend in my car and he ask me why i keep correcting the wheel and what the hell is moving around like that,well to keep it somewhat short lol,when i put the axles in and retighten all the suspension bolts the suspension was unloaded Turns out it is best to load the suspension before u tighten the bolts,mainly pivot points.Also bolts i thought i had really tight were not even close to torque specs.Went back to my shop loaded suspension and retorqued all the bolts and made a huge difference.I would try that next being u said u had suspension mods.

Good advice, also known as clocking your bushings.

After the suspension parts were installed it looked i had jacked up the rear of the car and put a lift on it. When the bolts were checked and the bushings clocked
Agter that was done the suspension settled

when it flooded in houston in may the water got really high up on the car. Is there any chance that the water maybe caused the bushings to start to rot and it is now jus showing up?

Another thing u might want to look into is what bent that wheel,if a curb was hit cliped or pothole hit something could be bent or out of alignment.I really doubt that a rim that bent that it could be seen visually was sent out like that (but possible).Not always easy or sometimes impossible to see bent suspension parts.Put it on an alignment machine,preferably a shop with a good rep.

Being out of alignment wouldnt cause it to sway would it

Update: well after meeting very cool guy on this forum. He told me i should talk to this guy Rob.
He got under my car to check bolts. Not only did i have 2 toe rod bolts loise my camber bolt was very loose on passenger side. And as you can see alignment was jacked.
Rob tightened all bolts and did the alignment and car drives very stable. Couldnt really get on it because of rain but i did get it up to 80 and felt very good
To everyone who replied to this thread trying to help. Thank you:cheers:
