i just bought a gqswb and i was driving down the beach doing about 80km the other nite and the back end seam to shift around (like it would want to hang out as soon as it hit any soft stuff) is this suspenision or swb or would it just been conditions? i was following a long wheel base patrol and it seamed ok

because of the swb, the reaction time from straight to side ways is very quick, same as turning circle is good on swb but shit on lwb.

Have the sway bars/stabilisers been removed or disconected?

mine never had a front sway bar, but it seems to have mounting points on the arms for it???

I strengthened up the rear sway bar (stiffened) and lowered the springs to combat bump steer and it seems better now.
