I have changed-
Inner and Outer Tie Rods
Sway Bar Linkage, Front and Back and Ball Joints, Front.

But anyways it feels like it catches only on the freeways with the lines in the cement cuz on the smooth asphalt it does not all my tires are brand new
(and when they were really bald it didn't do it at all just jerked when I hit water 😁) lol duh I know but now their new and it does it way BAD.

PLEASE HELP

What kind of tires do you have on there now? Some tires tend to 'tramline' worse than others and when I had Pirelli P Zero Neros on my xB it was horrible.

I'm assuming, with everything that has been replaced, your front end has had a recent alignment and all tires pressures are where they should be. Depending on where you got the tires you may be able to go back and have them balance checked, which likely isn't the issue based upon what you have said, and rotated. Probably won't make a difference but for minimal time and effort you can rule out some basic things.

 

Did you check the anti-sway bar bushings? If the round bushing holes have worn into ovals, it's time to change them. Each lower control arm has a set of rubber bushings. Might want to check those as well.

 

I posted a question similar, it’s like when I go over a bump only on the freeway, the car takes on a mind of its own like it’s driving in tracks.. I thought it was my tires I hit a curb dead on and now it seems to be worse. I’m wondering if it’s a defect in the making of the car. Sometimes I feel like I’m driving on ice .and have no control but it only lasts a few seconds.. I feels so dangerous!

 

Mine does the same thing and if it is raining it swerves so much that it makes you scared that you're going to lose control. I think it's the alignment but I'm not sure.
It's so bad I had to buy another car and I can only drive my Scion on days that it don't rain lol that sucks bc I love my Scion.

I had mine aligned and it didn’t make any difference.. I’m going to take it to a mechanic, I wonder if there’s been any re calls?

 

no I haven’t checked the anti sway bar bushings this is good info! I will definitely do that. thank you for your input and knowledge!
