Happened to my left front a few months ago and turned out to be a snapped strut shaft. You could have a broken rear shock. Or maybe you tweaked the sway bar?

better check the shocks. just try pushing down on that corner and seeing if it bounces a lot or not at all. try doing the same to all 4 corners so you can tell if that one is messed up or not. Or you could look for the shock to be leaking shock oil.

Funny you say this, When I first purchased my TTII's, the rear passenger side well was cathing on the outside of the tire when I hit a bump. Frustated after spending ALOT of $$$$ on rims and tires, I shelled out more cash to get new shocks, struts, hell....LCA's Panhard rod, uknoe the necessities Â*Anywho, after spending all that money on suspension products, wouldn't you know the problem w/ my car was the friggin "bump stops" A $55. part Â*I went under the car to look at them, and as soon as I touched them they dropped to the floor! They were soooo rotted out....nasty! Bump stops prevent the rear from going too far into the body, just in case you weren't sure of what I was talking about! Hope this helps

Where are they located/what do they look like? I may have a problem with those (its something in my wheelwell suspension, maybe they are a part of the problem)

Lift the rear of your car. NOTEThis part "should" be attached to the car, not the rear!) Somewhere between the brakes and the differential on the underside of your car should apear to be some sort of 3"X5" piece of rubberish material! That's it! They make em much better now, the new ones I got were made of some type of "Polyurethane"! I tried my best to describe what it looks like on my 3rdgen. Hope it helps ya!
