So i finally got the valve cover gasket replaced and now have another issue. Whenever i switch lanes the whole car wobbles. It also wants to wobble when i let off of the gas. I am thinking that the struts could be bad, but would like your 2 cents. Replaced the front wheel bearings already so i know thats not the problem. Thanks for your help.

It definitely sounds like a suspension issue. Try the bounce test at all four corners to see if any struts are bad but check all the suspension components to see if anything is bent/broken/loose.

I'm with Rallyman too. Also take a very close look at your tie rods (inner and outer) to see if there loose? Also look at your CV shafts too.

So...is the wobble coming from the rear of the car? If you feel it in the steering wheel, it's more than likely front end related. Does it only happen at certain speeds(i.e. highway speed)?

The wobble only comes from the rear. It starts to wobble at 70 mph. I just replaced the outer tie rods over the winter. Will take a look at the inner ones though. Thanks for your guys input. Will tear into it more this weekend.

Check the suspension components, but also look at the wheels and tires. Check for missing wheel weights, incorrectly torqued lugs, and you could've slipped a belt in a tire.

Well I finally took the it car in to get looked at. They said I need new stabilizer bar links and new lower control arms. Thought I would keep you guys updated. Thanks for all your help
