Movement in the rear / feels unstable???

Ok so here is what's going on.

My motor mounts are good, I have the latest bracket/mounts.

My car was in a month ago to get the throw out bearing warrantied.

Ever since then the car feels sloppy in the rear, it feels like something is moving or bouncing even when driving normally.

I have checked for blown shocks, no issues there.

The dealer says everything is fine and the car is supposed to be like this.

I did some spirited driving to see how it felt and I dont wanna even go above the speed limit at this point, the car doesnt feel as solid as it used to.

Also, I dont know if it is bad luck or what, but the new throw out bearing is going again and this time they are telling me its normal and it is gear over turn noises. Didnt know trannys wear supposed to squeak in neutral but stop when I depress the clutch. LOL.

What could it be guys?

does the clutch chatter at all?

you might have them check the ppf for tightness and alignment... also this is simple, but tire pressure?


how many miles on the car?

28k miles. Tire pressure is 32psi all around cold.

How difficult would it be to alight the ppf by myself and align it?

FYI - My first bearing replacement exhibited the same noise after it was replaced. Quieted down after about 1000 miles and has been fine for 28000 miles since then.
