I've been having an issue with my 2018 Nissan Titan lately, like every time I hit a bump or take a sharp turn, I feel like the sway bar is kicking out and causing some instability. It's a bit unsettling, especially when I'm on the highway or making tight cornering moves. so I'm thinking it might be a suspension issue or maybe something with the sway bar itself, but would love to hear if anyone has had this happen and what the fix was.

from what you've explained I feel like you should focus on the swaybar endlinkes or their bushings. Both can cause this kind of stability, so have them checked out.
 
Yeah man, I've dealt with that on my sister's '16 Titan when I went visiting one holiday, and it ended up being the sway bar end links, one was totally shot and the other was hanging on by a thread so the car felt loose anytime I hit bumps or took ramps a little quick, anyway we replaced both links and the difference was night and day.

Yep, I'm with you, endlinks or bushings could easily cause that. Good call checking those out
 
I think this is exactly like what happened on my buddy's Nissan. The links were toast and one bushing was barely hanging on. He ended up swapping both out (I did help a little).
 
I had a similar issue with my '17 Titan after a few years of hauling a camper on weekends. It was found that the sway bar bushings were worn and the end links were a bit loose. Replacing both made a huge difference. Have you checked for play in the end links or cracks in the bushings? Sometimes it's a simple fix that makes highway driving feel way more secure.
