I know this doesn't help the new truck owner but I just love my car. It's a Pontiac Aztek. In the top 10 ugliest cars in history but the tent makes up for it.

If your truck is rocking here's what to do (maybe we're getting too far into Yotatech.com here but...

EDIT #0- check tire pressure

#1- Replace the stock rubber sway bar bushings with polyurethane ones (lubed to keep from possible squeaking). Its the cheapest and easiest troubleshooting not to mention it can work!

if that doesn't stop it go to #2

#2- Replace your REAR shocks with stiffer ones. This will cost more money but isn't that bad. Many brands to choose from and once again, dead easy to do. Id strongly recommend leaving the front suspension stock.

Id be surprised if you still have sway after this. Good luck!
