I had my tie rods replaced while my transmission was out. Well as soon as i got my car back i took it to get aligned and the guy there was able to get it aligned. Driving on the highway is fine, No shaking of the wheel, yet if i switch lanes or turn on a on ramp i feel like the car is floating. it feels like the back end is a lose rail car or something. So this would be safe to say that my rear struts are bad right? This is my current set up
> > KYB AGX Adjustable shocks on the front,
> > Tokico shocks on the rear,
> > Ebiach Pro Kit Springs (1.75" drop),

Im almost wanting to lift my car a little because there is like no clearance as it sits right now. My side skirt is maybe 6 inches from the ground. Anyways i just spent alot of money for a new TRE tranny and Lsd and alignment so i guess my main concern is the rear struts. Any advice? I was thinking koni yellows but once again they are very expensive. Also since my front are adjustable ( they came with my car when i bought it) can i adjust them so thay way it makes the blown rears easier to deal with? Am i supposed to have a key or something to adjust the settings? what should i set it to?


Thanks for all the info!
 
See if there is oil leaking thats a sign of bad struts. For the fronts you can adjust using a small screwdriver, just push down all the way and rotate to the desired stiffness, then let it pop back up.
