Not being much of a mechanic, I need some advice. My '89 GW's body sways way too much on the highway with lots of wandering. The sway bar bushings are definitely shot. What other things could be wrong for this to happen?

The sway can come from several locations.

1. Sway bar bushings
2. Sway bar endlink bushings
3. Old sagging leaf springs
4. Worn out shocks

Good news is that we carry all those parts. I would take a look at the bushings first, as those are by far the cheapest to replace. After that, new shocks. Then leaf springs.

worn steering components can cause wandering as well... balljoints... tierod ends... draglink...
