Suspension feels wobbly when coming out of corner

[schmauster]

Recently the steering got really loose on our 4 runner. I recently replaced all 4 shocks with kyb monomax. I also replaced the sway bar bushings, steering rack bushings, front A arm bushings with polyurethane. Put new wheel bearings on the front since they were shot.

Got it realigned and the steering is tight, feels great on the road except when you're coming out of a high speed corner or going fast over bumps it can feel wobbly and unstable. The touchy steering adds to it. Still very
drivable but doesn't feel right

Have you looked at your balljoints, inner and outer tie rods? How about your rear control arm bushings?

Replaced inner and outer tie rods along with the ball joints on the front. Haven't really looked at the rear yet. The suspension linkage bushings look ok at a glance.

I realized when I let the throttle off it feels loose for a second like the pressure on the drivetrain is holding it straight.

I am good with motors but don't know much about finding problems with suspension. Should I be flexing things with a bar?

Rear control arm bushings I would suspect. The fact that you feel it when you unload the drivetrain tells me that.

When your on the throttle it's trying to roll the axle in one direction, holding it tight against the worn bushings, and when you release the load, its allowed to wander inside the loose bushings. Those links also see a fair ammount of load when doing 'high speed' cornering.

Ill check those out. Thank you

One of the front diff mount bushings looks questionable, and one of the rear control arm bushings is a tiny bit loose, both of those could contribute.

Going to replace everything in the back with polyurethane when i get a chance... The transmission is starting to leak from the bellhousing, so thats going to take priority... not looking forward to pulling the trans back.

Does anyone sell poly bushings for the front diff mounts?

Here's a couple videos you can reference for the rear control arm bushings replacement.
