Every since got my car month or so ago it has handled weird.Even at slower speeds around town it it felt sloppy or super loose or like the back and end and front didn't really want to go where they were supposed to.
I installed new mags and tires as the previous owner was no stranger to curbs. frown

Had the car up in the air several times looking at stuff but didn't really check it super close.

The problem seems to be from this bushing if that is the right word on the right rear side.Its in front of the rear control arms I think they are called.Its sort of big ,not exactly sure if its a body bushing or what they call it.Its fubar and makes the whole back end super sloppy.

Also have a loose damaged endlink on front sway bar.

So happy to have figured out very scary handling problem.And the good news is rest of stuff looks fine.

i replaced that exact one on my car as well, i bought energy suspension bushings, as the bushing wasnt available aftermarket, only from dealer with control arm. I also had a cracked subframe which got fixed.

That should be the cross member bushing, it's about 3-4 inches in diameter. Do you remember the part number from Energy Suspension?
