Default Rear end has started rolling

This mornning i was going around a corner and the rear and all of a sudden tipped a little (only body roll) and i was wondering if the bushes for the sway arm let go would it cause the rear end to get a little sloppy around corners. When i corner half hearted you can feel it roll out of the corner and when I hook right in you can really feel the back end move.

I suspect bushes but anyone else got any ideas.

Have a look at the rear swaybar mounts, it's not unusual for them to break.

is it lowered? lowered on worn bushes can usually cause a bit of movement in the back
