E36 unstable rear suspension.

[THULANI]

Good day forum members. My name is Thulani and I have a '95 e36 325i. I recently changed both rear shocks and mounts. Now I have a problem with the back that sways when I hit an uneven spot on the freeway, the car sways as if I have a flat tire. I thought changing the shock would remedy the problem since 1 of them was leaking oil.

but also have the camber and alignment checked, but rtab's are most likely worn out. Does the rear feel loose or the front?

Thanks for the reply Nikhil, its the rear that feels loose, it sways side to side.

I'd say leave it, going sideways is always more fun
