My 2000 ford focus has developed a sway at the rear of the car, its especially noticable when i go over a bump or when i go from side to side with the steering!
My tyres wernt great so i got them changed and also got 4 wheel alignment done from a reputable garage but its still the same! iv Checked for play in the wheels and the shocks also seem fine!
Any1 got any ideas, im now thinkin anti roll bar but not sure, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks|||Your wheel bearings could be on their way out.
Or you could just be suffering lift-off oversteer, the scurge of Focus chassis "design".|||check the struts or shocks in the rear, not sure which the focus has, but if they are bad they could cause that condition.|||1 new tires...check the pressure 32 to 34 pounds
2 struts if over 80K u need them...get ready for shock...600 to 800 dollars AHHHH
3 shouldent need sway bar...how are panhard bar bushings|||The anti-sway bars don't wear out, but the rubber bushings do. Check that out (front and rear). Just one end of the sway bar being loose can mess up your cornering. Also check the rubber bushings on the shocks and struts. Another possibility is a bent rear axle, but that should have been seen by the alignment shop. Good luck.|||It's bushes or shocks or both. Shocks can cause a noticeable amount of rear end sway when they are wearing out.
