Hi everyone. I bought an 02 Tahoe last month with 113xxx miles and have been fairly happy with it. It's 2wd with the 5.3L.

Now here is the issue. The truck drives fine down a level road. If I come across some uneven roads on the passenger side, especially around a curve, the truck rocks pretty bad. The front end also visually shifts from right to left. The driver side doesnt do this, it performs normally. I have even replaced all shocks with sensatracs and it still persists.

I was thinking about tightening up the torsion bar bolt on the passenger side and see what that does, but other than that I'm totally perplexed. The alignment is just fine, tracks straight and true. Tires are all at 35psi. Tires are fairly new, no uneven wear.

What am I missing? Thank you all in advance.

Finally had the chance to replace the endlinks yesterday. Old ones were literally falling apart. Much easier to replace than expected. Problem solved! Thanks again for the help :hands: .
