I have a verry strange feeling when I am driving starting around 65 mph and up .The car is out of control almost. It swings similar to the instance when the struts are bad.But the struts are New Bilstein with 10K miles on them. I Know it is something related to the trust arm but I don't know which one ... I have removed the wheels and there are 4 arms, and they look ok to me. Can you tell me what can be?
Thanks

The thrust arms are the ones that go front to back - that is ot say they run front to back parallel with the chassis to the spindle.

seems to be a classic problem on some models, we have strong winds here in costal oregon and my 126's seem stable. I have rebuilt the front ends and run yokohama tires ,I going to guess if you have no worn parts that you have an alinement or tire problem...............

The tires are new ,well balanced, Dunlop sp5000 V rated ...excelent tires. Maybe 15K miles on them.

You may find your answer by searching "suspension links". I seem to remember reading about a sloppy/swaying ride and replacing the links cured the problem. Inexpensive parts and an easy fix IIRC.

Non illegitemae carborundum.

Inspect all the dogbone links in the rear visually. If there is a bad one, you will shreds of rubber around the connection point.

Good luck,
