Rear suspension feels loose?!

Hi all,

Driving to work this morning and I hit a small change in road height and the rear end pulled to 1 side, immediately thought that's strange and turned radio down to concentrate and see if it would happen again... it did, several times. A mixture of bumps, small pot holes, gear changes or taking my foot of accelerator and the rear end was all over the place, twitching and pulling (similar feel to how the front end felt when tram lining before changing to non RFT)

Any idea what it could be?? I realise the symptoms are pretty vague but any suggestions and I can pop outside and check on the car and see if I can get to the bottom of it!

No idea if it could be flat tyres, loose wheel nuts, knackered shocks, broken springs, faulty traction control sensors, perished bushes?????

Any help much appreciated!

Oh and here's a nice pic of my z as I haven't posted 1 in a while :fuelfire:

 
More than likely the rear trailing arm bushes

Which, after your car having air ride fitted at one point will have had their legs stretched.
 
Never felt it as bad as today before tho, would it just come on that bad all of a sudden or would it be a gradual thing?

Also, how would I check? It's dark when I finish work all week so won't have a chance to jack up and have a proper look during daylight until the weekend, but will have to use it all week for work
 
Still like it today so will need to get it sorted, gonna buy all the easily replaceable poly bushes and hopefully it will help. Anybody know which member it is who deals the power flex parts on here?? I can't remember :/
 
nbfr buddy and it sounds to me like the rear trailing arm bushes, a set of new black series polyflex bushes in there and you should be all good :thumbsup:
 
Ok so I've spoken with nfbr and I'm going to get some rear trailing arm bushes.

Is it worth while me getting some other parts while I'm doing it?
ARB?
Drop links?
Tie rod end?
