Passenger side Rear suspension.....

So i noticed that each time i go over a bump aggressively, the right rear side of my car wabbles, like the bump is felt harder on the right rear wheel than then left rear wheel.........what could possibly be the issue here? no error messages, suspension is at correct height, car drives smooth until that particular wheel/suspension hits a pothole...............could dis be the rear axle? struts?

tire pressure?

also try going over a suitable pothole at higher speed and notice is there a wheel hop/ shudder at that wheel? if there is- your shock has leaked and needs to be replaced. a visual check is in order. also while in there all rubber bushings need to be pushed and checked for cracks and deformation

I am not a DIY kinda guy....... so the visual inspection would have to be done if i take the car in. But from looking at all four suspension, the look fine to me, no reduced height in the rear or fronts.

There will be no change in ride height if your shock has leaked. I am referring to the hydraulic portion, not the airmatic one of the shock.
