Check that the sway bar is not loose in the UL trailing arm: Grab 
the top of a front wheel and yank it hard from side to side. You 
should get no appreciable play.

There is a steering damper which sometimes causes problems and 
needs to be replaced.

The most common cause is overinflation. Don't go over 22 psi. I 
recommend 20. The factory recomments 18-19.
