I have a really odd wobble in back on decent bumps now for some reason. I wanna get new struts on it before I investigate further but if there's a decent bump in the road it feels like the ass end kicks right. There is a brace for the knuckle back there that extends towards the front of the car and mounts to the unibody just in front of the wheel well on the left side that I bent slightly while jacking the rear up from it's unibody mount. I think that might be the issue since it was fine before I moved the tires around.
Or I've got a blown apart belt that was causing my "torque steer" fiasco and now that the same tire is on the back...... It's causing "bump sway"....first is struts. Going from there.

That Brace is actually a trailing arm. If you bent that, even ever so slightly, it will cause a bump steer effect. Just like your describing. It throws the rear toe off and can cause a rear wandering at higher speeds.
Tires don't cause torque steer either. It's the misalignment of the drivetrain. Check your motor mounts for any play.
And glad to hear the new struts came in early and helped out.
