car drives fine until i hit a bump and then the rear end sways pretty good and it stops after i park the car...all my bushings look good i have no side to side movement when i jacked the car up seeing if the wheel moves...could this be a bad strut?

thanks

Make sure all suspension components are right. If you have no clunking noises (something loose) then yes it's struts. With the car parked voice up and down on the rear. It it bounces more than once or twice after you stop then definitely struts. I am a newbie to the forum but have worked on these cars all my life.

Ok thanks I will try this and make sure and I'm also new to the posting on the forum and I've had a dsm for 4 years still learning of course thanks again.
 
Well jcouch I replaced the struts on my old talon and i still had the sway after i hit a bump. I sold the car but dont know why it did that.
 
I had the exact same thing happen to my car. I replaced the struts and installed lowering springs, it solved my problem.
