My H2 Rocks...
 
And not in a way that I am proud of! Driving down the road, especially in a slight curve, my H2 rocks from side to side. It eventually settles down, but it is worrisome. The shocks are 2yr old Bilsteins, has new inner and outer tie rods, and a fresh alignment. Please help?

Sway bar bushings, panard bar, body mounts, things of that nature could be possible culprits.

Panhard bar. Will check it. Can you tell me how? Checked everything else. Thank you.

It was the tires. A member of another forum suggested that it might be side wall flex. Replaced the tires and now the only rocking I get is from the stereo.
Thank you guys for the help!

that doesnt add up to me that it was your tires.

what size tires were you running?
what size rims?

i am thinking that whatever you did is just masking the real issue.
sidewall flex makes sense if you are running 39's on a 15 inch rim or something crazy where you have a considerable amount of sidewall.

if you are getting sidewall flex on 35 in tires on stock rims... no, there is something else going on. im not saying that the tires can not be the issue..maybe one was defective, doubt 2 on the same side though.

if you are running the 35 tires on 22 rims... i defintely dont buy it because you dont really have much of any sidewall for it to flex.
now, if you say that your rig is bouncing or something else.. maybe i can see it with there being no flex in the tires because there is bascally little room for it with your tire/rim combo.

Could have been, and most likely was, non-visible tread separation or some other abnormality in one tire. Had this problem before on another vehicle. Changed tires and problem disappeared.

Could also have been low tire pressure in one or more tires, but I am assuming OP would have checked that first.
