Sister has an '89 fastback. It is very squirly going over bumps (particularly during a turn). The rear end bounces off to one side or the other when you go over a bump (cattle guards are particularly scary).

Anyhow, the rear shocks are blown. Do you think that alone is the cause of my troubles or could there be more issues? I'm going to be replacing the shocks next week if all goes well, but am interested if anybody has other thoughts on this.

Next question. . . How difficult is it to change/flush automagic transmission fluid? I should probably look it up in the FSM, but it doesn't always clue me in as to whether or not it's worth me doing :P
