Well I have been hearing some rattling going on in the rear and decided I would check it out. I figured I might have a rear strut bolt loose. Well I stuck my head back there and could see day light. Well to my suprise I came across this. Looks like the car might be a little low for the sway bar. Here is some pics. You can see that the sway bar has punched a hole in the body and tore the body seem. Nothing that cant be fixed but still. I dont get why the driver side is not near as bad as the passenger as I am really picky as to have all the weight equal on the sides. Even the amps and subs and everything back there is centered. ok so now to the pics.




Two options here, one, as you mentioned the car is too low or two, the sway bar is too long. I have the TRD and it only has two holes. I think the extra hole adds an extra inch or so the the end causing you to bottom out.
As for why the passenger bottoms out, I think your rear right struts maybe going out.

The thing is I am in the car 99% of the time by myself. There is never anyone in the back seat. I have measured the distance from side to side on the springs and all is good there.
