What about alignment, it will feel that way if your out. Also if your struts don't have the juice the body will roll too much making it feel like sagging, yet lose.

You're welcome. Perhaps get your coil springs checked out too, if they have lost the strength it will only make things worse.

Stick around!

Welcome to the site, to me it sounds like your struts are weak, mine have the same sagging swaying problem on the rear end since they are blown.

Welcome. Ya it sounds like the struts but check to make sure the sway bar links and bushings are good too

Check to see if the springs are broken, and check the shocks and sway bar links.
