Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the cause of some symptoms I'm having with the rear end of my 2010 SV. I bought it used Nov of 2013 and ever since then the rear end has been a bit "splashy". For example, if I am on a slight turn and hit a bump (seems to be bumps not pot holes mostly) the rear end tends to sway excessively side to side before straightening out. It feels like excessive body roll. The tires are at 33-34 psi. I'm thinking maybe bad end links? I'm pretty sure the previous driver drove aggressively so I planned on some minor suspension work. I haven't done anything yet but it seems to be getting a little worse. I drive normal, not overly aggressive but my wife usually drives the max so I want to make sure its kept up. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

The rear stock sway bars suck on these cars. Replacing with an aftermarket sway bar will take care of the way it feels. I put a Stillen rear sway bar and i am very happy with the outcome.

Yup...RSB is the way to go. It will definitely help tighten the rear of the car.

I don't know per se but would recommend to just upgrade everything while you're at it, ya know? You'll definitely be happy with how tight she feels afterward, especially if she's lowered too.

Be sure to grease the **** out of the bushings so there's no creaking noise; I didn't do enough the first time and had to re-lube a second time which did the trick.

I left the stock end links on mine and have no complaints.
