+1 those end links break really easy

Ever thought about a damaged shock? Mine does this but mainly on the front passenger side. I'm checking my tie rods on sunday but was told that it most likely is my shock.

Try checking front hub bearing or rear sway bar end links.

End links look fine, tires are at 32psi, tie rods are fine, all bushings look normal. I am beginning to think it's maybe the rear shocks. They are the ones that came on it. The front ones were replaced with KYB a year ago, and the springs are that old. So that's the only thing I can think it might be. Any more suggestions?

Rabbit yours sounds exactly like my problems. How far off was your rear end after lowering and before the pan hard bar? Did you do anything else to eliminate the weaving? Mine seems to catch in grooves in the road really bad now. I just assumed it was because my front tires are 10" wide.also you said yours binds bad in corners and I'm not quite sure what that means...
