Car shimmies over bumps?

Ok so my car "shimmies" from what feels like the rear of the car when going over bumps. Its not consistent and happens every time, but is definitely noticeable when it does happen. I'm lowered on f&f type 2s and only other thing I've done is upgrade to a TLS RSB. Car is an 04. I'm going to get an alignment today, but just had that done recently and the problem seemed to occur less, but still happens from time to time. I'll try another alignment, but does anyone have a clue?

Are your endlinks A-OK? I snapped an OEM endlink after +6 years with the A-spec+Progress RSB suspension. I was turning up into my driveway and heard a pop. I might not have noticed for months if it didn't happen at home at low speed. I actually didn't snap an endlink until I upgraded to HTSpec Ultimate camber kit combo to correct rear camber issues a few weeks earlier. Upgraded to Heeltoe Fastline Performance adjustable powerlinks.

Usually that means if it like "skips" and shifts over side to side that there is too much toe in at the rear - your alignment shop should take care of it.

It happened to me when i lowered my car. On the TSX's, when you lower the car in the rear it likes to displace a lot of negative camber and toe in. Front is completely different. You can drop the TSX a lot and still be ok with stock upper control arms.

hmmm

My endlinks are new, they're actually significantly thicker than the OEM ones before. See I was thinking that it was my toe, but the bolt is frozen and I purchased a new one, but haven't gotten around to removing/installing the new one. Thanks for the tip!
