Default why does this happen?

i was pushing the back of the car from the trunk and it was swaying back and forth? Is it supposed to do that? Like the suspension is loose or something. I know i need some struts badly back there but i doubt it supposed to go from side to side that easily. Ne thoughts?

I think youre describing something i had noticed on my sc . And it seemed to improve when i lowered it, but after going to good quality rims its gone. So if you have lower quality tires and/or rims, it could be the reason. Also tightening all the screws if you havnt done that , what I do sometimes if i localize a problem and tighten every bolt and screw visible on one area . and it almost always seems like the car is ore stable.
