Rear bushings

I need help , I was driving on the highway with 2 other car doing about 100-110 mph and when I was turning in and out of lanes I can feel the rear like... Sway a lil so I'm thinking I need changed the bushings but do I just need the subframe or is there more to it

I wasn't street racing we had to be there at a certain time so we had to drive a lil faster, so you think it's my toe not my bushings

I wasnt saying you were but from what you said that is what a mod will think. It could be the bushings but it could be your toe as well. It is probably actually both. I fixed my toe which was really bad but i havent done my bushings yet and i i have just a tad of sway left. I used to not be able to drive when it was wet because i would litterally slide back and forth because my toe was so bad.

getting a alignment done will tell you if your toe is messed up. Obviously getting an alignment done will bring your toe more back into spec. If after that then i would do bushings if it still not fixed. To tell you the truth it could be as simple as you needing new tires. The swaying happened when you went over bumps right? even small ones that are just noticable used to make me sway.

You need new sway bar endlinks and bushings.

I had a similar issue with my car feeling like the rear end wanted to step out when switching lanes on the highway. New endlinks and urethane bushings fixed that issue.

That's why your rear end is moving around so much...the sway bar's bushings are worn and can't do their job of keeping the suspension from flexing.
