OK, I ran over a curb with my 2001 SS with SLP bolt on sub frame connectors. The right front tire hit hard but glancing and the rear tire went straight on over the curb and the right rear wheel jammed up hard. The right rear tire went flat.

So I replaced the tire and the car was very soft and spongy and rolled heavily to the right in left hand turns and squats on the right rear on acceleration. I also get pulling to the left on braking.

So I took it to the dealer, who found bent trailing arm on the right rear and replaced that. The problem remained.

So I went back to the dealer and they said the suspension and springs should be replaced in the back. So I ordered an SLP set of Bilstein's and springs. With new suspension all around, it should be fixed? But no.

Same problem remains. It is like all the fixes helped a little but the underlying problem is still there. The car is soft and spongy and rolls heavily to the right in left hand turns and squats on the right rear on acceleration. I also get pulling to the left on braking and wheel hop in the right rear if the car is under heavy acceleration turning left.

What could the problem be?

Check the driver side endlink to the front anti-roll bar and its mounts.

Will do. Also, at highway speeds over roads that are not perfectly smooth, the car starts to porpise and the whole car shudders, shaking the steering wheel and column pretty heavily. Does that change the diagnosis at all? Thanks

I responded to your other thread also.

You could have broken weld on the front K-Member where the front LCA bolts on. I have heard of one case of this, long shot, but it should be checked.
