Default ---Rear suspension help please ???---

Start off by saying this is driving me crazy. im lowered on gf210 so the rear endlinks started going bad and the stock shocks were feeling blown so i bought tokico blues and powergrid endlinks. My car has the ings lip kit so it sits very low and i told the guy when he put them on to make sure there was tension on the rear sways before adjusting them he said he did but i know he didnt he keeps saying i need a rear alignment. I had that done about 7 months prior and my tire wear is where it should be. The rear end rocks from right to left
and makes unbearable clunking sounds. To me it makes more sense theres no tension on the sways as to why theres all the free play. Alignment makes partial sense cause it feels like it did when it needed it before but that could be from the loose sway bar.. Next think im on 245/35/19 f and 275/30/19 r even though I replaced the shocks it feels like there still blown the ride is horrible. Its never been this bad I really despise driving the car now but i know its something simple. Since im so low I can only take it to a performance shop in town that specializes in porches but they charge double so before i go there pleas help

Sways don't affect the alignment. You don't really want to preload your swaybars. Your caster setting is way off cause you didn't buy the proper rear tires.

The main one is the tires, get 275/35's on it and let us know if you still have problems. Caster affects stability, especially at speed.
