well guys, remember when I put in my new end link??
The whole reason behind it was that I felt a slight sway in the rear end when doing a right handed curve.
well after I put the endlink on it still did it, so I did a search at PT and found someone explain that they had the same problem.
While on the way home from work last night I almost lost control of my car................
Turns out the whole problem was that my right front lower control arm was seperating from the strut assy, at the ball joint.
For any of you who know of the little 15mm bolt that holds the ball joint to the spindle well mine was so loose that I could nearly spin it by hand.
well while under acceleration the spindle lifts off the ball joint and you lose all control, and while in a curve it does the same now if your lucky it will seat it self back where it goes if you not it.... your wheel could bend out (the only thing holding would be the brake line)
scary!!
but any way I brought it in the garage last night and its all good now.
