Default Broken rear suspension 2000 civic

Hey guys, ive got a 2000 civic ex coupe. I was drving and as i was slowing down for a turn my steering wheel just started shacking back and forth, like i had the most warped rotors of all time. Then as i made my turn my back end swung out. At first i thought blown tier but that wasnt it. Shocks seem fine too. I crawled under it best i could on the side of the road but couldnt really see anything. When i stand behind it, it looks like i have negative camber on the right rear wheel and that its not quite tracking straight. If anyone knows what might be the problem that would be a big help. Thanks in advance!!

Check the trailing arm bushings.

Not really. Most shops don't know what to inspect unless they specialize in a certain make.
