Ok. When I drive my car and the road is not the best my car is wobbeling alot in the rear. Even when I drive over a painted line or something it wobbels...this drives me crazy. I was wondering if I can do something about it. I have a sway bar already in the engine bay...but I have heard some bar you can put under the car to make it more stabilize....I would really need help with this..thanks in advance...
 
it sounds more like you need a set of new shocks on it than anything else
 
I dont think that is the thing..I just put new Tein Flex suspension on and the problem was the same before I put them on...
 
Depending on where you live, this could be sort of normal. I live out in the country, and here, the roads are definitely far from perfect. The way they design the roads, there is actually a difference in the levels at the middle, so if you crest over the middle of the road, the tire will pull you across to the opposite side. Now, if you rule that out, and it's just the rear-end of your car that's "wobbling", rip off your rear tires and check the other suspension pieces back there. I'm more familiar with the AWD suspension, but check all your bushing and make sure everything looks good. Also, what you were talking about is a larger rear stabalizer bar. You can pick these up through most DSM online parts stores.
 
yeah I live in Orlando Florida so I dont really have the country problem :) However, do you talk about the lower rear tie bar or the lower rear sway bar? Thinking about getting both?
 
You could think about upgrading those, but I would first pull the rear wheels off and check all your bushings, as well as all bolts and connections back there to make sure there's nothing loose or with excess play. Even with all stock parts it shouldn't wobble like that, so there must be something in the suspension that is not doing he job it is intended to do.
 
It could be a number of things:

Bent rims

Out of balance rims/tires

Bad wheel bearings

Bad tie rod ends

Bad ball joints

Bad bushings

Bad tires

Bad strut mounts
