May be you should slow down from 100 mph to 70-75?.
You own a box on balloon wheels you know?

Our rides are not known for being aerodynamically friendly.. But with that being said, I have had mine up to 95 and did not have the problem you are speaking of...

I've been up to 105-110 perfectly smooth.

You have failed to tell us what wheels, tires, or other possible mods you have. Your description of the symptoms are pretty slim also. Swaying- are you saying the body is rolling or the truck physically dont drive a straight line? Any vibration- when and where?

I would say your wheels are not balanced finely enough to hold that speed. Loss of wheel weight, could have **** packed in your rims throwing the balance off.

First off I'd look at lowering your ride, maybe some low profile tires and a wing on the back. Some adjustable coil overs and some slight tow in on the front....wait! Did you say your driving a giant all terrain vehicle and you expect it to handle well above 100 M.P.H.?.....just checking

the car start swaying after 100 M.P.H (roles left and right very badly)!!!

this symptoms comes in normal road not dirt road.....

i have the OEM tiers, wheels and the car is standered no modification....


i did :
- tires balancing.
- rod alignment
- and changed the steering stabilizer..

but still, the same issue no change.


now am suspecting the tie rods to be damage. don know but what to do ,,,,

I'm sorry but check the bolding. "But when driving in straight line no problem"? Are you saying that you're driving 100mph and it's rocking without you going on a straight line?
That should be pretty normal?

Ha Ha Ha...
This is joke right?
why the f**k are you doing OVER 100 mph in a vehicle that weighs 3 tons and has the aerodynamics of a brick.

at 100 your probably getting around 8 mpg.

maybe you need to get another vehicle.
