I think its the sway bar? When I look under the car from behind the rear tires, I see a bar that extends from the inside of one wheel, over to the other. It goes around the pumpkin located in the midline (differential), and kind of elbows down to connect to a point just inside of the wheels, on each side. The place where it bolts to the inside of the two wheels, it has polyuerothane (or rubber).

Well, after looking, I saw that it is disconnected on both sides. Am I right in saying that this is the sway bar thats disconnected? How does this effect performance? I think the rear feels "snake-like" as is, disconnected? How easy of a fix is this to take care of myself? Where, and what bolts/parts should I buy? Would Autozone have these pieces, and would this be a project that I could take on myself? I think I could... Wondering about it though? What do you all think?

Your sway bar should have four contact points, two on the rear ends axle tubes (u shaped brackets with rubber or urethane insde holding the sway bar) and two long bolts with spacers and bushings on each end insde the front of the rear wheel well. Those bolts go through brackets bolted to the body. Hopefuly you have the brackets. If you need the long bolts with the spacers and bushings I may have some new ones here some place. Or you can get them from a place like Autozone. Let me know.
