Brad did you have any other symptoms? Im mainly talking about "feel" things.

I dont know if it is asubframe bushing or not but I will explain my symptoms:1. Back right wheel drops 2X as fast as the left after going over speedbump2. car fishtails after going over potholes or other irregularities in the road

The strut seems to be find after I did the push down on the back of the car test. It also wears that back right tire faster than the other tires? Any suggestions. Wes suggested that it could be the subfame bushing or a bad spring?

Am I to presume you have already checked alignment and other rubber bushings? Sub-frame bushing failure is not difficult to SEE. Its easy to remove the short stamped metal braces on the front ones.

im just trying to get symptoms of what owners experienced with bad subframe bushings. Mine are fine, but if someone posted up on here and asked about a certain symptom, id like to be able to know what symptoms subframe bushings give without actually checking them.
