Default Rear end problems after alignment help

Ok first off im on tein coils with uas bags, and had new tires put on. I then went to get an alignment my toe was way off and my rear seemed to be ok. I was at about -3 camber in the rear and -2 up front for my drive height. After said and done my front stayed the same and with correction of the toe and the rear was -3.5 & almost -4.5 and they said they fixed it along with toe. Ok i didnt notice all that til i left then i noticed my rear end used to be semi stiff now that **** sways left and right like i were towing a load. Ive gone back several times and nothing they just gave up and refunded my money any idea what might have happend? Sorry for the long story lol thanks in advance

Check for broken end links and swap bar components. Sounds pretty weird. I've hear of that issue with a bad alignment.

I've had similar issues with this. all of the readings indicate good alignment, however my tires wear out really fast and there's black dust all over the back of my car (i can only assume it is from the tires).

i inspected all of the rear bushings on all of the arms and they all seem fine. (no rips, no excessive play, alignment cam bolts were tight, etc.)

I will definitely post here if i find something/anything/solution.

i was gonna say that my rear end did the same thing after blowing a brand new set of tires in two weeks the rear was all messed up i would hit a bump and the rear would have sorta sway side to side bounce ended up being a bad alignment
