hi,
It's been awhile since I have posted. I wanted to share my experience and maybe it might help someone who is having a similar problem. Recently when I drive on the highway and on on the city streets, I would feel a feedback on the steering when I go over a bump, a dip or even breaking. In the canyons, the VSC would kick in which it didn't before. I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. I check my suspension for leaks, sway bar, KDSS, alignment, etc. I recalibrated the KDSS and no luck. I drove my friend's 4r to see if his was the same. I then drove my 4r on the same path (freeway with bumps and dips). Mine was not solid. I notice that the 4r would dance side to side or steering wheel feedback when I let go of the gas pedal because I wanted to keep a distance from the car ahead. The 4r would dance again when I step on the accelerator. From this I thought it was the rear panhard bar. After inspection, the culprit was the rear driver side upper link. The nut had come off. I didn't want to take it into the dealer cause I don't trust them, can't find a good KDSS mechanic and didn't want to pay an arm/leg for the fix.
