Thumbs up car sways when shifting...

My car has always kind of swayed a little while shifting... i just installed my coilovers the other day and it seems to have amplified the problem. It is under normal driving when i let off the gas to shift into another gear it feels like it "sways." I plan on getting corner balanced soon because i feel like this might be the problem. My tire pressure is the same all the way around so im not really sure what else it could be... Its an ap2 with about 60k if that matters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to stop the sway because its annoying haha!


Thank you

Check tire pressure. Sounds dumb, but I found out I had a leaking RR tire. As the pressure dropped, the car seemed to sway, or snap to the right during shifts.

Well I "THOUGHT" my tire pressure was perfect but it turns out it wasnt. I just got done jacking my car up on all 4 corners and adjusting my coilovers and when that didnt fix it I checked my tires and 1 was LOW. Problem solved.

thank you

18psi... oops!!

I think I may have a leak because I just checked them recently. Good thing I'm getting ready to put on the summer wheels. I'll worry about it in 6 months haha!
