Default Way To Much Body Roll IS 300

I'm new to this site & the Lexus world I currently own a 2001 IS 300 its lowered on god speed coil overs with 12K in the front & 10K in the back their 15 way adjustable but getting to my point last week in the rain I spun out & the back driver wheel slammed into a sidewalk nothing crazy happened from my what I can see I have a bent rim I changed the tires on the back now it grips better but I feel like the body roll is to much as if I had a loose wheel but I don't & it only happens at speeds over 50 MPH + I really hope I didn't break anything I hear a clacking noise coming from the back right sometimes where I drive the car but then it stops once I drive fast enough but I'll only be able to hear it with the windows down. I can still floor car & it stays in straight line the roll only occurs when I lane change for example or when I shake the car with the steering wheel it'll feel like it wants to drift like the back wants to whip out

take it to an alignment shop and have them inspect it. That or the dealer. Do it now before something breaks

Go to a shop and have them look at the suspension. I'd bet that you probably broke a swaybar endlink for sure, but you could've also bent a control arm or just damaged a balljoint as well

Stability control ( VSC ) should of prevented that from happening ( spinouts )
