Perhaps all of you Highlander Hybrid owners have noticed: the HH cruises down the highway like a magic carpet, but it hates to turn!
In fact, I consider the understeer and sway that the HH exhibits in turns to be dangerous. Compared to all my other cars, the HH is so reluctant to turn that I have several times nearly gone off the road (LH curves) or crossed the centerline (RH curves) due to the incredible turn-in lag and understeer of this model compared to everything else I am used to driving.
It desperately needs a stiffer rear sway bar, at the very least, to begin to get a handle on this understeer and sway problem. It could proabably use a stiffer front bar, as well, coupled with a much stiffer rear bar, plus stiffer springs and shocks. However, both TRD and the aftermarket (ADDCO, Hellwig, etc.) offer nothing for the late-model Highlanders, let alone the Hybrid. If anybody sees any suspension upgrades available out there, please post. Thanks!
