could be anything air suspension or stock we can speculate all day have someone take a look, what’s the other option? It could be strut mounts or the strut mount part delaminates from the strut for air suspension, the strut itself could be an issue, the tie rod ends inner and outer, sway bar bushings and links I think affects turns and handing a, Could also be the various bushings on the front end or Back end.., was that helpful ? No this this sort of situation where it’s suspension related...

it’s hard to say but having said that when you say sways I think you mean where it goes on a weird small bump where the bump is smaller or same size as whelk you get latertal movement side to side movement in that case check strut mount or struts and the bushings that connect to the strut directly

really never had it the way you said it, but for fun let’s take a bet I say some essentially bushing connected to steering is totally ****ed or the tie rod ends OR the strut mount, do post back so we can all learn thanks
