rear end swaying after bump

[wvdsm92]

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.

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.

Was it the front end or rear end?

More than likely. You can try inspecting them for any visible leaks. That's how I was able to determine it was my struts for sure.
