Default Loose rear suspension

Recently my wife hit a curb with my 2004 crossfire. After replacing the rear passenger rim and suspension linkage. The car is just not the same. When your driving over 50 mph you can feel the rear end sway back and forth when you hit any bumps. I would have thought that after the thousand dollars I spent the dealer would have gotten it right. They are of no help.
Any Ideas ????

You paid them $1000 and they leave you with an unsafe vehicle like that? They obviously didn't do SOMETHING right in the repairs. A nice letter to the dealership GM, cc'd to the D/C regional office and the local BBB might help. If that doesn't work, I'd be finding a lawyer.

May want to contact your insurance company too. If not involved before you might want them involved NOW, especially if your car is really that unstable to the point of being unsafe to drive.

You might want to have checked the rear toe in.

It sounds to me that the rear wheels are toed out and the car is hunting.
