The rear feels like it moves while im driving

[tela4422]

Sometimes when Im driving and I hit a bump, it feels like the rear of the car moves to the side a little. I think its the rear struts. What do you think?

I think its the bump.

There are no such things as free miles: Struts last 50-60k. After that, youre a sailor...

- tell me your max total&strut mileage?
- Worn: downwards push from one corner causes up/down swing 'few' times. Good shocks, abs no swing... only down as u push & return to level.
- Only shock tst will tell, the indications fit for worn shock. Here we now have mandatory yearly inspection with shock check
- to check for other linkage play, you go under and check bushings as smbdy 'jumps on the car', also sideways push
- check shock shafts inside the springs, raise the dust cover: dirt accumulation on oil leak tells if its already worn, seals shot.
- If 60k or more, dont ask, swap. Youll get a 'new' car, superb handling, braking distance will decrease up to 20% etcetc
