Default unsettled rear end

So if I enter a corner pretty hot my rear has a tendency to want to "bounce back" before its planted in the corner.

What do you guys think could be causing this? I'm leaning towards some type of bushing, maybe diff bushing but I wanted to get you's guys opinions on this because im not sure.

Change all the bushings, all of them to either metal bushings from battle version or parts shop max, or change them to polyurethane bushings from figs engineering.

I would remove the rear wheels and inspect the rear shocks for leaks. If there are enough miles and or time they may be bad.

I'm going to do bushings after I get my lift installed in the garage. for now I'll just take it easy in corners. I'm also trading out these megan coilovers for some oem supra suspension. They're just too stinkin rough for a daily driver in houston.

This one isn't mine but when I get back from a business trip I plan on ordering mine. Its made for 8 foot ceiling garages. We just got this house and I need to insulate, sheetrock, and sort out the garage. The lift is part of a bigger plan that will focus on helping people in need as well as play double duty for the family cars.

I'm sick and tired of crawling around under cars, to put it simply. Its worth a couple grand to avoid that in the future.

Here's what I'll be ordering (Lord willing)

I 100% share the sentiment of getting tired of pumping a jack and getting under cars. I do think its worth the investment, combine that with a good air tank and compressor and tools and work becomes much easier.

You gonna wait for the lift to check out the rear end?

Yeah, its not too bad. I think the iffy-ness is amplified by the super rigid megan racing coils. since i'm now swapping those out for some oem supra TT suspension I'm hoping that gets me by for now.
