Rear suspension trouble.
 
The car sways side to side like a boat, not responsive AT ALL, this is very annoying, i have a whole rear system from another car if needed but i'd like to try and solve this first.

well what have you checked out?

Most FC's by this time have pretty pooched bushings all around, that migt be a place to start.

Have you done shocks/spring recently?
Sway bars links/bushings?

Need a little more info.

my ex replaced the struts when she had it, i'm sure bushings wouldnt hurt, any chance it might have something to do with the DTSS hubs?

dtss. its supposed to only work at high speed cornering, but when worn, it tends to act goofy. search for it...i have the same prob, mazdatrix sells delete kits for 40 bux (both wheels).

edit: on a side note, to replace the system as original is 145 a wheel. many opinions float around here as to whether or not its worth the money, or better to delete them.

yeah sounds like exactly what the DTSS would do if they got sloppy like a whores vagina. Hmmm, well i have good DTSS hubs on the '91 so i'll probably just swap the entire subframes between the cars, that should take care of it. Probably dissassemble clean and paint the parts i'm bolting up, hell probably swap bushings too.
