Alright, I'll get right to the point. Whenever I make a left turn at a fair amount of speed, the back of my 1995 Eagle Talon ESi rocks to the side, rather badly. It's extremely annoying. However, it only does it when I turn to the left. Also, whenever I back the car up a terrible squeaking noise comes from the back of my car. This exact same noise happens when the car rocks to the side during the left turn. It almost feels like an extremely strong person is by the drivers side rear tire and is shoving the car outward. Oh, and since I didn't directly state it, whenever the car rocks it rocks to the outside of the turn.
Here is some more information that may help you: about six months ago, my timing belt slipped of and my water pump pulley broke. I don't know much about cars, so we had it towed to a mechanic. While it was on the tow-truck, I noticed that my rear tires slanted toward the inside of the car. This was causing extremely quick tire wear on the inside of the tires. I had the mechanics look at it. They told me that the rear struts just needed aligned, but that they didn't do struts. So after the timing was fixed, I took it to Cecil's Tire service because my Uncle worked their, thus I could get a discounted price. They said they aligned the struts, but one of them (they didn't say whether it was the left or the right) was too tight and they couldn't tighten it anymore or it would break apart. They went on to tell me that it should be alright. Now, the left turn rocking thing and the noise when backing up had been happening before I took it to them. I've been running short on cash lately, so I simply took the corners slower. However, now I believe I have enough money to fix the problem, so I'd like to know what the problem is so I can fix it.
Any input would help greatly. I offer a "thank you" in advance to anyone who can help. Sorry this post is long. Thank you again.
