Default Lexus IS200 auto, wobbles side to side after bump

Hey guys!

Just tried to diagnose and fix my problem I am having with my Lexus IS 200 -99, auto. As the car overrides a bump (regardless of size) it seems to wobble to the right initially and then to the left continued..... before it settles down. I thought it might be something with the wheel bearing, but I am not sure at the moment. I disassembled the caliper guide pins of which at least one of them were stuck. I cleaned and lubricated them with silicon grease.

Below are some links to the videos I shot while trying to fix the problem. The screeching noises was partially fixed, possibly from the brakes, but not entirely.


Any suggestions would be appreciated

i had wobble over bumps in car as well. if i recall correctly, i wound up getting an alignment and replaced the inner and outer tie rods of the steering rack. I also replaced the steering rack bushings. Figs engineering has good suspension bushing replacement components if there's still bump steer
