Replace your shocks!

Replace your shocks!

word!  plus see if your sway bar links are all connected.  3 out of 4 were broken on my wifes 97 4runner.  I replaced those and the shocks and it helped a ton.  also the stock suspension really doesnt ride that great to begin with, so dont expect it to handle like a honda even after you put new parts on

check the oem coils as well for fatigue.

How are the bushings in the rear links?  What condition are your tires in?  Cause a separated tire will cause a swaying issue at certain speeds.

Tires are bald, I towed a trailer with half the load hanging off the trailer, so Im sure there some  worn  out parts in the rear, I still wheel it to poo,  Ill have to jack it  up and check stuff out

Id say, start replacing worn out dude. sounds like this ol 98 is like a overriden horse and in dire need of some love.

Tires, Bushings, shocks, bearings.

also make sure your tires are at 35-40psi

Im working on to many other people rigs to touch my own,   The tires are what were on it when i bought it, found the reciept in the glovebox and it said they were from 2006   old tires

If you were towing something with half the weight on the trailer, you are going to get too much or too little tongue weight and that can make it sway too

[tgmaul88 [OP]]

LIKE A BOAT!   But  because i towed that   frame on top of a truck bed trailer   it loosened up thing a bit to where it sways a lot more now

[specialscottie]

mine does the exact same thing
