Hi guys,
When I accelerate or drive, things seem OK'ish. However, when I let the foot of the gas (not even hitting the brakes), she darts to the right. Then, when I hit the brakes, she starts body-rolling and swaying left to right. It literally feels like the truck car body-rolls based on swerving the steering wheel left and right.
I recently posted about vague steering (Vague steering and lift question) that I am experiencing on my FJ80. While investigating, I saw the following:
So....what can be the problem?

I recently posted about vague steering (Vague steering and lift question) that I am experiencing on my FJ80. While investigating, I saw the following:
- Left front rotor had a few deep ruts in it -> replaced brakes and rotors all around
- Front drive shaft universal joint busted (at the diff side) -> replaced the universal joints
- Some play in the tie-rod ends -> replaced the tie-rod ends and drag link ends
- Almost no absorption in the steering damper -> replaced the steering damper
So....what can be the problem?
- swaybar bushing?
- I know I need to adjust the caster, but it doesn't explain the swerving. Or does it?
