Default Please help. Car feels like a Carmry

I had an accident where some suspension components were broken and replaced by an infinity shop.


The car doesnt feel as stable as it was before. When I turn quickly the car sort of wobbles. I don't know how to explain it... its not stable. Before when I made hard turns the car would stay leveled it seems as if the shocks are soft now.


Please help any suggestions.


I want to go back to the shop with some suggestions.


Could it be that some of the pcs are new and they need to break in? That's what the shop already told me and told me to call them back.

maybe the dampers are "damaged"...if so you could see it easily.just drive the car down a bumpy road and ask a friend to watch your rear wheel "dampening".if it goes up and down like crazy it´s damaged. that´s something i would give a try.or it´s just as the shop told you(which i don´t think so).did they replaced the rear dampers and springs?

Yes they replaced the whole rear left suspension since I broke the control arm.

They did. One of my friends will also do an alignment today. For some reason I dont think an alignment will help. Hopefully it will but I think it has to do with something else.

Before it felt like it was on rails now its not

I have the same problem. I'm hoping it's my camber arm. Iono how to describe the "wobble"...it just kinda slides or something for a second or something...iono. I test drove an 07 and I almost traded in my 06, just cuz of how my car feels now. Quite depressing, but it looks sexy.
