Change the stabilizer linkage

Linkage,bad steering rack,bad alignment, bad tyres
Re: Help With Toyota Highlander Swerving by thaqib(op): 10:39pm On Jul 08, 2021
Thank for your inputs. The mechanic checked the vehincle and found that three out of the shock absorber is bad. So I changed the shock absorber and the linkages in all the wheel and did alignment.
the swerving upon stepping or coming down from a little bump had stopped/ reduced

However the car still swerves dangerously. This characteristically happen on a wet ground. Not on dry. I then changed the set of back tyres that is bad but alas, the swerving on little sleep still here.
Today's rain made it more obvious. I hear some little noise on turning d steering on the driver side, especially in wet weather, but the steering isn't stiff at all

Is there anything I have missee

Check ur steady rod under the back of the car. I think the rods are up to 4 or 6

Inspect sway bar
Re: Help With Toyota Highlander Swerving by thaqib(op): 8:59am On Jul 09, 2021
Aren't sway bar the linkages, I just changed them sir. Is there a relationship between wet road in particular and any components of the suspension system?

1. which vehicle is this?
2. Does the vehicle swerve anytime on wet road or only when you step on the brakes?
if yes, check brake calipers. a stiff caliper or if there are unequal braking power applied to the tyres could cause similar symptoms.
3. also can you confidently say you have checked every component of the suspension and they a re fine?
Re: Help With Toyota Highlander Swerving by thaqib(op): 9:48pm On Jul 13, 2021
Swerves specifically on wet road. Not on stepping on pebbles again after absorbers and linkages have been changed. Tyres have been changed. He mechanic called some thing *bushings" . He said they are still good.
