Hello all, Lately my rearend has been "swinging" or swaying on turns. The tires don't actually slide. I feel it mostly on right turns. Maybe someone with experience can give me a clue on what it could be. shocks are fine. could it be bushings? if so, which ones and is it a DIY?

the car does have 100k.

did you just get new tires, wrong size tires. You make it seem like this is all of the sudden but did you just start to notice it or was it suddenly after you got new tires. My friend bought new tires not too long ago. dunlops all season and they roll like crazy; they have the crappiest side walls i've ever experienced. his back end would be all over the place around a corner. maybe he oversized them incorrectly i don't know but those tires suck. I put them on my car for a few days to see if it really was the tires and they definitely were the problem.

Other than that the only thing i can suggest is to park your car and try to push sideways to see what moves. Just shake it back in forth in the back as hard as you can and have someone look around while you are doing it.
