Exclamation 1st Gen LS400 rear chassis issue

Hello ! First of all my name is Antoine and i'm from France and I'm happy to know there is a big forum where i can see many things concerning lexus.

I'm here because my 94 LS400 has a problem on the rear chassis.
I'm going to explain as simple as possible. (im french lol)
When i drive the car and feel on the road a bump or when i stand on a bump with the rear right wheel, it just turns in the interior..
Like when you ride over a bump the wheel and suspension just go up and down like normal but for me even with this it justs turns like 5° in the interior.

If you want a schema here it is lol.

Take a bump wheel, goes normal like this (rear right): l-l
Me when i take a bump (rear right) goes like this: l-\

Now i don't know what to do because i need to sell the car and don't want to buy things that will not even concern what the problem really is.
I need your helps now guys to clear this lol.

I'm going to share pictures of my chassis in couple hours if i can !

Thank you guys in advance !

It's supposed to camber in on bumps, all independent suspensions do it to some degree. Is it a camber change or a toe change you're noticing?

Hi ! Thanks for answering.
I know it for the camber and as you say i'm talking about a toe change ! (didnt have the word at first lol)
It is a toe change when i take bump or what.

rear suspension is multilinked so if the left side does not change toe in a bump vs the right, then I suspect one of the links is broken or has a bad bushing.
