Nebie with question about...

Hello all, im on my second camaro now, 96 z28 ttop 6-spd, and now a 95 z28 conv. automatic. My question is on the 95, when driving along the rear end of the car feels out of control like the sway bar is missing. Can anyone give me advice in what can cause the swaying side to side. Thank you in advance.

Side-to-side motion over the rear axle is controlled by the panhard rod. Possibly its loose, the bushings are bad, or the mounting arm is damaged.

Mine did this for a while. Felt like it wanted to fishtail. A LCA bolt was loose.

Re: Nebie with question about...

lower control arm bolt, the lower control arm, in reference to the rear suspension keeps the axle from moving front/back relative to the chassis, one bolt holds the control arm to the chassis, one bolt holds it to the axle

I'd check the panhard rod. I had the same thing happen to me when my panhard rod bolt backed came out on me.
