02 body feels like a boat ride
Something strange happend on my car today. I have a 02 i35 and I went over a bump and the rear end of the car went to the left it seemed like and now feels as if the rear end of the car is going to fall out lol. I hear alot of strut noise in the rear driver side area. Feels as if the entire car is unstable if I go over a speed bump or any large bump lol.

Handle this today if you're going to drive the car. I'm not usually an alarmist but you don't want to be driving a car that suffers a catastrophic suspension failure. You can go from driver to passenger in the blink of an eye.
As Subway said, do an inspection. It will probably be obvious when you get under there. Either that or have someone look at it.

I will jack the car up most likely today as the squeaking and noise from the rear suspension is just unbearable at times, and plus a i have some struts laying around in the garage so im onna try to install them today and see if that helps out. Some. I did jack the car up the other day because the rear driver side seems to be making the most noise. And now I know why my car was shaking so bad at a certain speed like it was going to fall apart. the suspension was rubbing against the rear pass tire leaving uneven/ flat spots on the tire.

To my surprise the driver side rear strut mount had come apart at the top. The 2 top bolts were still attached to the car, but once i removed the strut from the car, the mount came apart as well as the ring and the spring itself. Its no wonder the car felt unstable and every bump it would bounce so much. Luckily i had a spare strut laying around and installed it and now everything is back to normal!!
