I forgot to reply last weekend, but it was definitely the lower control arms that were the culprit. Once you disconnect the control arms from the knuckle, you can see how much they affect the camber of the wheels.

I’m gonna be in the garage Friday and have an alignment scheduled for Saturday, so I’ll post an update then. If that fixes the issue, then @Mr and Mrs V Dunn may need to get the rear suspension looked at.

I purchased the rest of the bushings, control arms, and sway bar Links. I’m going to change them out this week and then bring it to a different shop for a wheel alignment and see if that fixes it.

Would worn lower control arm bushings or sway bar links factor in? Im not sure how worn they are, but I’ve put on 80,000 km or so myself and haven’t changed any of the rear suspension parts besides struts and upper control arms.

I didn’t notice the swaying that bad before the tires were changed. There was some bad wear marks on the inner edge of the rear tires, so I got new tires all around. I had the alignment done afterwards and it was fine for a bit. What belts are you referring to? The front struts seem fine, but I’ll check them more thoroughly.

@larryl Tires are 2 months old. The swaying is bad enough that it almost feels like you’re going to start fishtailing!

Hey, I have a 2010 Journey, 2.4L, with approximately 195,000km. Lately I’ve been noticing some swaying coming from the rear end. It happens on the highway with gusts of wind, or in icy conditions, or when cornering. I’ve recently replaced the rear struts and upper control arms with the adjustable arms, as the wheels were cambered. The vehicle is still swaying and I figured I’d ask for some opinions on what to try changing out next. Thanks!
