car sways when turning right

The car has done this ever since I've had it, but kept forgetting to ask you all about it. When I am driving the car at...let's say 20+ MPH, and I turn to the right, the car starts sways side to side, but if I'm turning left, it doesn't do it at all. It feels almost unstable sometimes, like the car is gonna just sway out of control. Thats why I don't take turns to the right very fast.

Does anyone know what could cause this? Has anyone else experienced this?

check the sway bars and endlinks for broken/missing parts. Check and make sure the panhard bar and upper support are there and not damaged

Re: car sways when turning right

check your rear spings and sway bars


my rear springs went and they were factory orignal. they were sagging by 2 inches and left spring bottomed out. I can not understand how in hell it was staying in place.

I replaced rear springs with AC Delco springs and my ride is much better now i have to replace the front springs

I have a question I only hear a rattling like noise when I go over a bump but is that normal?
