LX470 feels dangerous on highway

[bobNoobie]

Hi, I was driving around 90 - 100km/h on the highway.
on one portion of the highway there was a long sweeping right turn. (not sharp at all) but the part of road was wavy ,.

when I hit the wavy part, the car feels wandering (steering wander wobble?) , bouncy and unstable . I slowed down but I wasn't going that fast to begin with maybe 80 - 90. other SUV fly by me looks like they are doing ok.
I switch the suspension to the sport mode. it helps a bit but still feels dangerous.

some guy suggest to replace all the bushings.
so I am gathering a shopping list what to get.

anyone got any suggestion for a bushing kits? I am in canada so my usual sources are amazon and rock auto. don't mind some other sources to as long as they ship to canada at a reasonable rates . bonus points if anyone got suggestion on YouTube tutorial to install some bushing


thank u in advance.

Inner and outer tie rod ends, control arm ball joints.

I had/have a similar issue. I replaced the tie rod ends and it helped a lot. Still some wander so I'm going to replace control arm ball joints and bushings (also shock bushings, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links while I'm in there). Hopefully it'll fix it! They are all in pretty bad shape...

I ordered all of the bushings from partsouq. OEM and not a bad price.
Ball joints and tie rod ends from cruiserourfitters (Sankei 555).

You need to figure out what is wrong before ordering parts to replace it.

Have you checked: upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, front diff bushings, steering rack, steering rack bushings, sway bar bushings, sway bar end links, wheel bearings, alignment, etc? If not, start there.

This.

Likely your steering rack bushings are shot. But yea you could have a bad ball joint as well, or both. Or a failed tie rod end.

take it to a front end shop.

BTW upper control arm bushings are a bear to replace but they are available from cruiser outfitters for $28 each.

Has your 100 been lifted or larger then stock tires? You may need to VSC OFF switch install. to correct the problem if the suspension and steering check out as OK.
