Wobble/out of balance feeling

[Flying Biker]

Well about a month ago, I started getting an intermittent out of balance feeling after about 50mph. At first it was just ever so often, usually when accelerating getting onto a highway from an on ramp and then it would go away and I would not feel it anymore for the duration of the trip so I had assumed it was just the highway and how it was poured. Also, about the same time, I noticed when I would back out of a parking slot and I had to make a very hard turn, it would feel as if the front wheels would "skip".

Now this wobble, out of balance feeling is happening all the time on acceleration between 50-70 miles, no matter what road I am on, but it does go away after a few moments. It does not show up during deceleration only on acceleration. My 06 4runner has a little of 190K on it and I have never had any work done on her in regards to the suspension so she is 100% Stock.

This week, I am going to put her on jacks and take a look and see what is going on, but I figured I would start here and get some opinions on where to start and any recommendations on what to go ahead and replace anyways while I am there. I would like to bring her back to being tight again on the road. I am hoping to get another 200K out of her. I love this vehicle and she has been very good to me.

It's most likely the LCA bushings, but Those are easy to check for play, if they check out fine then look into the CVs. Gshadow has a great write up there, very informative
