08 Sedan squirrelly suspension help - Toyota Yaris Forums

bbrocious · 06-16-2009, 11:49 AM

Folks, I have a 2008 Yaris Sedan with about 27,000 miles. It is an automatic. When I drive it down the road at highway speeds (50+) and hit a pot hole the car gets squirrelly, as if it has come loose from the road, almost like a fishtailing except it doesn't fishtail, the car rocks back and forth, side to side.

This car has no aftermarket anything. It is 100% stock. Could this be a shock absorber issue? Or a stablizer bar issue? If it is a stablizer bar issue, is there something I could look for that would help me determine the source of the problem?

Thanx for your thoughts.
Bob
