are the tires the same brand and size all the way around? I know on my T/A when I first got it it did this and had same size all the way around but diff manufactures bewteen front and back and the rear where slightly narrower then the front which caused my problem...

Try to turn without using the e-brake next time.

[92_EG_R]

mmm ya there the same size but different brand? never thought of that. so you had the sameproblom when it sways randomly

[92_EG_R]

damn forgot that damn e brake lol

[92_EG_R]

just looked they rear tires are the same brand same size and front tires are a diferent brand but there the same size???

I used to run mis-matched tires all the time when I couldn't afford a brand new set, and I would always get by just fine. I don't think it's your tires, but then again different cars react differently to things like that, so it is possible. When it happens are you using your brakes at all? I don't e-brake, just regular brakes.

I'd look at your entire suspension and make sure everything still looks good. I'd also look at your bushings as well.

In all honesty, my car had a sway when I would enter a turn, and it would "wiggle" really badly. Like big bag of water was bouncing left to right in my trunk. Got under the car to find one of the connecting arms (Forget the specific name) was slightly cracked, and my bushings were bad. Fixed those, and the problem is gone. Hence my suggestions.

sway bar end links?

[J@meson]

Bust out a tape measure and see, I will bet that the rear are narrower then the front....

sway bar end links?

The two separate arms that if you hop down behind the car, they are connected to the body with a bushing (each one) and then they are connected to the wheel assembly. Mine was slightly cracked.
