i got rear end problems

[mp3boy1984]

alright, so i was driving through saulte canada, and a bunch of imports were there and we were messing around.....so i figured that i would should off the far superior handling abilities of the car, while going around one of the turns, i felt my rear end get really loose to the point where i lost traction for a split second then they re-bit into the pavement......i don't know if you know what i am talking about......but anyway after that night i just took it easy, then monday my car still didn't feel right.......and my rear still feels really loose, so i figured i would check the sway bar links thinking that maybe somehow i broke one of them....granite it was just a visual check to see if both of them were still attached where they were suppose to be, i haven't actually taken it apart to see what the problem could be. Also whenever i hit bumps i get horrible rebound in the rear.....and there is this horrible thud noise.....i have no clue what the problem could be and if anyone could help me out it would be sweet and greatly appreciated

Could be your sway bar bushing are shot. Mine broke in half. I got new ones from the dealer for $11 and replaced them myself in about an hour. Yours may be covered under warrenty.

Also check the bolts that connect the control arms (black bars that conect the subframe and the wheels) as one may have worked it's way loose from the subframe. This happened to me also. When going through lng sweepers, if I hit a bump the car would wobble like it had a broken strut. It would act normal on straight roads or when not driving spiritedly. Afte bolting that back into the subframe the car has been fine.

i thought this was a medical problem at first glance??


did you hear any noise when this happend?

 

[mp3boy1984]

no, no noises, just the loud a$$ thud noise whenever i hit bumps.....and the car is tail happy, obviously not like a rear wheel drive car, but the rear ends feels like it is about to come out from under, and the rear end just feels real unstable

alright, hopefully i fixed the problem, today when i went under the car i noticed one of the seay bar link bolts was really loose, i guess i must have missed it when i looked before.......anyway, i tightened that down and i am taking the car for a spin in about a half an hour cuz i have to go to work, so i will keep the finger crossed......
