Default 05 Crossfire Base

Quick question, my Crossfire rear end swings from side to side over bumps. Worst at higher speeds. I visually checked the shocks and springs and everything looks fine. What are the opinions? Shocks causing severe side to side play or springs?

Does it make any sound? Like a knock or a bang? Or do you feel it go from side to side?
It could be a few things. If you have some one that could help you, lay on the ground with a light and have someone rock the car from side to side. Maybe you will spot something.
Check the anti-sway bar mounts, just follow the anti-sway bar up to the floor pan. One of the welds that holds your suspension frame could be broken. Look above the suspension around the fuel tank area. It could also be the ball joints.
The only real way to be sure of what it is would be to put on a lift and check out the entire suspension.

When I wasnt thinking, a youngerster pulled up next to me and and at the green light I WOT it, I hard like a loud thund ciming from the rearend. Like the trany slipped and caught...obviously that wasnt it,.... but using as example,. So i let off real quick so i didnt do more harm... I will try to get under it today and see if the sway bar might be the issue. I know the connection at the tires was good.
