When do I need to replace my sway bar?
Strut wear is detected best by driving. If it is ‘swaying on freeways on turns and high winds’ that sounds like worn struts, not surprising in a 9-year-old car. No need to have Toyota replace them, a good shop (which doesn’t necessarily sound like your local mechanic) can do it easily. VDCdriver July 6, 2016, 1:13am #3
