Default Intresting problem with Prelude

Im looking into purchasing a 92 lude for a winter beater, and theres one problem with the car. The *** end sways pretty noticably when you hit a decent sized dip in the road, or when its wet on the roads. The car also chews up tires in the rear pretty badly. It also doesnt squeel or make any noises at all. I was thinking a rear sway bar problem but im not sure, I dont think it was ever in an accident in the rear either. Any ideas?

I'm thinking the alignment is off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah he said this car chews up some serious tires in the rear, it killed a dount tire really quickly. Also if the alignment is off wouldnt it wander all of the time?

I imagine it would. Is it wondering all the time? If so, how bad is it?

From what he said it doesnt wander too bad in a straight line. The kid before also drove it 30K or so, and traded it in for this problem.

Holy hell that's a major alignment issue. That won't be much of a problem with a little fixing from a shop, though.

Sounds like either loose or blown shocks to me....
