    Okay so I'm a tow truck driver, and last week I hooked up my Prix SE on my flatbed because I had to drive the truck to our shop to have it fixed and I needed a way home. So I hooked up the "J" Hooks on the rear of the vehicle and tightened them down. If you are looking under the car from the rear, there are two sets of bars that meet up with each tire, I figured the one that was closest to the rear bumper is a tie rod so I hooked up to the next set of "bars". Now I have a bad sway in the rear end of the vehicle. I'm sure these parts are not hard to replace but I need to know what I screwed up before I go parts hunting. If anyone has any opinions or expert advice that would be awesome.
    Where I come from, Smokey and The Bandit is not a movie, it's a documentary.

    A picture would make it all very clear, very quickly.

    Found out what it was, I bent the trailing arms :P So now I am just waiting a couple of days to get a new pair of rear trailing arms and then it shouldn't feel like its trying to change lanes every time I hit a bump.

    The GM U-joint trailing arms always bend on every one of these cars. Get some tubular ones
