bushings maybe, springs or dampers possibly. Id check all ure bushings in the rear, check ure springs for cracks, and check ure shocks for leaks. ---

Same thing happened to me, the rear struts were blown. Do a bounce test on yours to see if that is the problem. ---

> [@mongobling](#): > > how would you go about doing a bounce test to see? Push down on your trunk, or something, to compress your shocks. Quickly remove your hands and see if the suspension settles quickly. Good suspension should almost settle immediately(no bounce). ---

haha same thing happened with my Merkur XR4Ti, every time i hit a bump the rear end would hop over to the left a bit… turned out that every bushing in the rear sub frame was toast.
